Condition: Good
To the unaided eye, this piece appears to be in good to fair condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals two areas in the lower right hand corner of the piece that have inconsistensies in the varnish. There is also minimal craquelure along the right hand side of the piece some of which appears to have been caused by contact between the canvas and the stretcher bar. There is paint loss present, primarily along the upper stretcher bar and scattered throughout the sky, as well as one area exhibiting paint loss in the center of the pictured body of water. The piece is framed in an ornate gold frame. The frame is in good condition, showing normal signs of wear.
