More Information

This painting is overall in very good condition. There is some crazing in places, inspection under UV light revealed a small possible over paint in the water next to the boat and on the sail above it, but no other significant issues. There is a very small dent in the sky on the left-hand side. The frame is generally in good order with a few minor losses, we unsure as to whether it has been re-lined. Generally a very nice picture.
