Thick varnish causing some discolouration, particularly noticeable to the upper section of the work where the varnish is pooling causing brown markings. Light surface dirt throughout. There are two specks of paint in the lower right corner. Inspection under UV reveals an area of possible repair to the upper right corner. There is a vertical line approx. 3cm running up from the ship's mast. This retouching does not appear to affect the moon and clouded area in the upper right quadrant. The varnish may be concealing further retouching or repair. 35 x 26.5cm including frame. Condition Report Disclaimer
