Condition
Executed on cream laid paper, laid down on board. There are some thin creases and paper losses in places, most probably due to artist's execution and the subsequent laying down process. The edges of the sheet are covered by paper tape (restorers tape). There is some staining, most visible on the lady's arm. There appears to be a cut on the left most figure running across his forehead and nose. The paper is slightly discoloured. This work is in fairly good condition.
