Condition
The panel is flat and even. Ultraviolet light reveals some minor scattered signs of retouching, notably a spot in the jacket and hat of the painter, in the hem of the navy-blue dress of the standing lady and a spot in the foot of the lady to the right of her (apart from which the figures are unretouched), a couple of small spots in the ground in the lower left, and above the rock in the middle-ground to the left, and scattered spots along the extreme edges addressing frame rubbing. The work is overall in good condition.
Held in a decorative, ornamented coved and fluted gilt frame.
The colours in reality are richer than in the catalogue illustration, especially the greens.
