Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the actual work.
Condition: There is a tiny bit of wear to the two extreme upper corner tips of the canvas. There is a very fine stretcher mark running parallel to right section of the top edge. There are three faint unobtrusive media accretions on the vertical axis between lower legs of the central girl and the boy to her left. There is no evidence of any retouching when examined under ultraviolet light.
