Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined. An undulation to the canvas. A network of fine stable craquelure is scattered across the canvas. Some scattered minor stains, most notable in the lower right quadrant. A vertical stretcher bar mark runs through the center of the canvas. Some wear and separation to the canvas along the tacking edges to the left and right edges. Minor losses to the pigment in all four corners, likely due to frame abrasion. A pindot loss to the upper right corner, possibly an artist's pinhole. Under UV light: A few scattered pindot strokes of inpainting across the sky and to the water, particularly in the lower right corner. An additional dime-sized area of inpainting to the sky above the white pigment at center right. This work is in good condition.
