Condition Report

The lining is old, probably 19th century, and is adhered with glue, and the verso shows solvent or similar staining from a previous cleaning. There are areas of loss throughout the work. Some of these have been filled and/or retouched. The surface seems stable at present in spite of the losses and craquelure. The condition suggests that the painting spent some time off of its stretcher at some point and may have been rolled. Generally the painting is not badly abraded for a work of its age, but there are some areas of abrasion, including the following: in the center of the work covering part of the building and the tall masts (about 2 x 3 in.); in the sky along the tops of the buildings on the left; and lower left beneath the figure in red.

The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. Condition requests can be obtained via email (lot inquiry button) or by telephone to the appropriate gallery location (Boston/617.350.5400 or Marlborough/508.970.3000). Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Skinner Inc. shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.
