Condition
The actual painting is a lot softer and shows less contrast than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas has an old wax relining. The paint surface is under a slightly dirty layer of varnish and there's a very fine craquelure throughout. No damages are apparent. Some tiny scattered retouchings can be observed in the lower foreground. Inspection under UV light is partially impeded by the varnish, but does reveal a scattering of tiny retouchings in the costumes of the figures in the foreground, in the woman in the bed, along the upper edge, and in the figures in the background left.
Offered in a decorative gilt plaster and wood frame in good condition.
