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。

The painting support with a wax lining; frame abrasions to the extreme edges; overall with some surface soiling; extensive fine craquelure throughout; a few minor pin-point losses; under natural light areas of touch-up visible along edges, particularly to the top and left edges; there are three repaired tear lines, one extending down from the left edge near 9:30 o'clock and running through the third ship from the left, one vertical and starting above the mountains above the French ship and the third slightly curving at the clouds in the sky at right; a few small spots of in-fill to sky and other tiny touch-ups. The painting was viewed under UV light and the aforementioned condition issues were confirmed, as well as a few additional touch-ups throughout. Frames are not warrantied for condition and are sold as is.
