Condition

The board is stable. Inspection under UV light shows a thick uneven varnish which prevents the light from fully penetrating. However, there appear to be spots of old retouching to the sky most notable in the upper right quadrant. There is small loss to the prow of the ship which has been in-painted as well as a few minor losses to the sky. There are some spots of foxing in places, most prominently in the clouds of the upper left quadrant. This work is in overall good condition.
