Condition
The canvas has been lined. There are extremely fine, faint lines of stable craquelure scattered throughout the center of the composition, most notable upon close inspection of the water. Minor signs of frame abrasion are visible toward top right and top left edges. Under UV: a layer of varnish is diffuclt to read through but no inpainting is apparent. Overall work is in very good condition.
