Condition

The canvas has not been lined. There is an oil sketch of house boats on the reverse of the canvas by the same hand. Over all the work is in very good original condition. There are some strong passages of impasto, notably to the anemones. There is some minor craquelure to the one of the anemones, visible only upon close inspection. There is some surface dirt but otherwise the work is ready to hang. UV light reveals no evidence of any retouching or restoration. Held in original gilt frame and under glass.
