Condition
The canvas has been strip-lined along the tacking edges. Ultra-violet light reveals numerous scattered retouchings which are minor given the size of the work, mostly small cosmetic spots and notably strengthening to the arms and face of the central seated siren next to the sailor. The overall appearance of the work under normal light is good and it is ready to hang. Presented in a simple gilt frame.
