Condition
The panel is made up of two, uncradled, horizontal planks; the panel is entirely stable. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a milky varnish and minimal interference. There are spot retouchings throughout the centre of the picture in the clouds and in the water around the boats. There is some minor strengthening in the sail of the boat in the centre and around the figures on the shore. In overall very good condition.
