Condition

This painting has been restored fairly recently. The canvas is lined. There is quite a thick varnish on the surface which is not original. There are a few retouches in the waist of the figure on the right and in a few other isolated spots. Ideally, one would try to remove the heavy varnish, but the work could also be hung in its current state. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
