Gen Paul

Very minor paint cracking in several segments of the painting such as in the forehead, shoulders, right arm, stomach and left hand of the central figure. In the right arm of the left figure. Next to the right ear and in the stomach of the right figure. These are all very superficial and not disturbing the image. There are four retouches: one situated 10 cm from the top and 7,5 cm from the right edge, a minor one 32 cm from the lower and 8 cm from the right edge, another minor one 10 cm from the lower and 28 cm from the left edge and finally one 7,5 cm from the lower and 22 cm from the left edge. These are only noticeable under uv-light. Otherwise in good condition.
