The edge of the panel are not visible at the reverse. The panel is flat with no distortions or curvature. There are three small 1cm cracks in the paint running with the direction of the grain - one centre top, one centre bottom and one bottom left. All are slighly raised, with a worn spot perhaps from an attempt to consolidate/flatten in the past. Appear stable at present. Cotton wool trapped in the bottom one (see images). Slight further lump/disruption to paint at the bottom left corner and top left corner.

There are further tiny losses under the upper varnish along the top edge, with a larger loss to the right. A small loss/indentation to the left of the top chimney. A small accretion with matte patch middle of the right edge, and above this is a blow which has crushed/flaked the paint slightly 1cm long (see images), and a similar larger blow lower left edge which has a few minor unrestored losses.

A few further scattered tiny losses in the houses. One dent in the grey roof of the house on the skyline with yellow windows. Appears original paint extends into this. The house below has a slight matte patch.

There has been some transfer of other coloured paint, likely from the artist's studio; orange at the bottom edge, and white at the top centre edge, in the boats/harbour wall, and tiny bit at the bottom edge.

A fairly even surface gloss with some slight matte patches.
