Condition

The medium is oil on canvasboard. There are a few areas where the canvas does not lie flat and appears to have come unglued from the board onto which it is adhered overall: most visible in the water at center. There is a surface scratch in the center of the sky. There are a few areas of pigment separation, and a few spots of accretion, in the upper right. Under UV: the yellow pigments appear to still be active. The work presents well.
