We are grateful to Dr. Harold Gabriel Weisz Carrington for confirming the authenticity of this work.
We wish to thank Dr. Salomon Grimberg for his kind assistance in the cataloguing of this work.
This work is in excellent condition. The panel on which it is painted is flat. The paint layer is stable and unvarnished, as was intended by the artist. Slight scuffs can be seen in the corners and on the edges, but this also seems to be intentional. The gilding still seems to be in original condition, as does the paint layer in the figures and the boat. The work should be hung as is.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
