Condition

Canvas is unlined. There are two specks of paint loss, one at center of top edge and the other at center of right edge. Under UV light two pindots of inpainting near center of top edge and another pindot near center of left edge are visible; an area in the water towards lower left fluoresces unevenly but appears to be original. Otherwise fine, this work is in very good condition.
