拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Oil on canvas. Strip-lined. Varnished. Slight frame abrasions to the extreme edges, with a few associated pigment losses. Some fine lines of stable craquelures in the background in places. Vertical stretcher barmark visible. Surface dirt, most noticeably to the edges. Two small pigment losses above the right-most boat. A few pinpoint surface accretion. Examined under ultra-violet light: some strokes and pinpoints of retouching along the upper edge. A few further intermittent strokes to the edges and corners. One area of uneven fluorescence off the centre left edge with possible retouching. Some fluorescence in the sky along the upper and right edges, likely from the artist.
