Condition
Oil on canvas with a very old lining. There is a stable web of wide craquelure across the picture surface. Under UV light, some of the red pigments (the womens lips and flowers) are still active. The picture is difficult to read, but there appears to be old inpaiting to address the previously mentioned craquelure.
