Condition
Presents very well.Upon very close inspection, there are some tiny fly spots and some dust and surface debris withing the thickest impasto.Inspection under UV light shows flaring to the blue paint used in the centre of the image, however this is consistent with the other places where this shade of blue is used (flags on the boat and highlights in the wave ripples) therefore likely to be particular to this colour paint, rather than later re-touching.Overall frame dimensions: 68.5 x 79 x 5 cm. Not glazed.
