Une griffure un peu plus longue au niveau du cou de la femme assise. Quelques griffures un peu plus longues dans les feuillages. Une restauration, partant du sourcil gauche de la femme étendue et traversant son bras.
Les couleurs sont un peu plus claires et contrastées sur la photo du catalogue. Les rehauts d'argent apparaissent blancs sur la photo.
Very good overall condition.
A certain numbers of very small and thin scratches on the surface. Some tiny pin holes on the surface, more on the thighs of the women lying down, three on the arm on the sitting women, and one on her stomach. A longer scratch on the neck of the sitting women.
