Condition
The canvas is lined. A close inspection reveals small networks of stable hairline shrinkage, notably to the palest pigments in the upper left quadrant and towards the edges. A close inspection reveals two spots of paint-loss along the upper edge towards the upper right corner and one in the back ground, to the right of the left-most figure's legs. Examination under UV light reveals three small spots of retouching to the left-most figure's upper torso. This work is in good condition.
