European Furniture and Decorative Arts

Framed dimensions 32 x 40 inches.

Appearing in overall fairly good and ready to hang condition. There is a horizontal impression from the painting stretcher that runs the length of the painting approximately one inch from the top edge. There are a few areas of flaking paint visible, particularly in the sail of the central ship. There are abrasions to the paint around the edges from contact with the frame. The paint surface is dirty and would benefit from cleaning. Examination under UV light reveals that the canvas is varnished and there are a few scattered spots of touch-up/ in painting. There are a few instances of craquelure in the paint surface. Additional images are available upon request.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
