Condition
This painting is lined. Overall the painting has been well kept and is in good condition. There are a couple of scuff marks on the outer edges due to older frame rubbing. Inspection under UV light shows some small patches of retouches on the passage of the sky as well as on the water underneath the boat. These retouches were well applied and are not visible to the naked eye. The painting is stable and ready to hang as is. The work is offered in a gilded frame with some scratches along its left side.
