Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. There is a faint humidity mark at the centre of the right edge. Aside from minor surface scratches in the upper left corner and at the bottom of the central right figure (possibly inherent to the artist's process), this work is in very good original condition.
