Two older patches to backside of canvas with coordinating in painting to front surface - left side of windmill roof, and in sky to left of lower windmill blade. 1.5" long v shaped field of in painting to top right corner, likely in repair of a tear but obscured to back of canvas by tightening wedge and stretcher. 0.75" round field of in painting in sky above sailboat at right. Other scattered and minor areas of inpainting. Repairs and restorations are neither obvious nor distracting.
