Condition report:

The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support which has not been lined. There are minor undulations to the canvas along the lower edge caused by debris trapped between the canvas and lower stretcher bar. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. Overpaint has been applied in thin, brushy layers and appears to be covering wear in the thin paint passages. The overpaint has a lightly pink tone, notably around the sails of the boat. The thin varnish layer is glossy, even and slightly yellowed. There are flies and insect spots on the surface. In an ornate gilt frame 57 x 64.5cm
