Condition
The surface is covered with a layer of varnish. There is some craquelure and perhaps flaking in the red coat of the figure seated at right. This might benefit from being reviewed by a restorer. There is minor paint loss around the edges. Under UV no pigment appears to fluoresce but varnish prevents a conclusive analysis.
