Condition
The canvas is lined. There is some horizontal cracking, mostly in the standing figures, and some craquelure in the upper left and lower right quadrants. Under UV, there is a layer of varnish that fluoresces unevenly and makes it difficult for the UV light to fully penetrate, but there is evidence of retouching, mostly towards the lower edges. The work is in fair condition overall.
Colours: Fairly accurate; bluer in the water in the original
