Condition
The canvas is not lined. The canvas is slightly buckling in the lower left corner. The surface is slightly dirty. There is a pinhole loss to the canvas along the lower edge. There is a dime sized area of cracking to the paint approximately 5 inches below the bather climbing into the boat, which corresponds to an area of discoloration and light warping to the canvas on the verso. Under Uv light, there is no apparent inpainting. The work is in overall good condition.
