Condition
The work is in good condition overall and the canvas is taut. There is one fine hairline craquelure on the impasto area in the lower left quadrant (on the orange belt of the left figure) and on the upper left margin (on one leaf), both only upon close observation. There is no evidence of retouching under ultraviolet light inspection. The color is quite accurate in the catalogue illustration.
