Condition

Canvas is lined. A beautiful image reads well. Faint old stretcher bar marks are along edges and two vertical lines run at center. Two small spots of what seem to be paint loss are at top edge right of center. Inspection under UV shows some small areas of retouches are scattered on the sea, boats, structure at left, and background sky. What appears to be an old repair fluoresces differently on the right side below the center. Overall, painting is in good condition considering its size and can hang in its present state. Offered in a gilded wood frame.
