Condition
The canvas has an old lining. Undulates slightly and a craquelure pattern across the surface. There are a few flecks of paint loss to the jacket of the sailor and two further spots near lower left corner.
Ultraviolet light reveals an opaque varnish which makes the surface difficult to read conclusively but there appear to be no signs of retouching.
