The work is mounted within a cradled panel. Examination under Ultra-Violet light reveals some fluorescence to the left and right edges and lower right corner, possibly historic retouching.



There is some frame rubbing to the outer edges. One small paint loss to the centre left margin and to the front right boat, the latter with an associated protrusion. There are some scattered very faint striations visible, mainly to the lower portion. A few spots of minor surface dirt are present.



In our opinion, the work is in overall very good condition.
