Small area of roughness on the painted surface (looks like an underlying surface abrasion in the canvas texture), with a slightly raised edge around it, just above the horizon on the right side. See pictures.
The rest of the painting is very good with a general aged look. Frame edges have a few marks, scuffs and signs of age. Back of frame very good.
