Condition:

This work is in excellent condition. The panel on which it is painted is flat. The paint layer is stable and unvarnished, as was intended by the artist. Slight scuffs can be seen in the corners and on the edges, but this also seems to be intentional. The gilding still seems to be in original condition, as does the paint layer in the figures and the boat. The work should be hung as is.
