Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There are some minor isolated spots of paint flaking, which could benefit from consolidation and most of which are also visible in the catalogue illustration, notably in the beach closer to the centre of the right framing edge, in the lower left corner, in and around the face of the woman to the left and in the blue bathing suit of the woman in the foreground. Ultra-violet light reveals a small spot of cosmetic retouching in the far lower left corner. This work is otherwise in good overall condition and is ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
