Condition

The work is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. There is light wear and handling around the edges of the painting due to the basic framing process. Upon close observation, there is evidence of pin-sized molds predominantly on the red clothes of the lady and around her legs, along with a minor paint loss on the man's dark green sarong. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no sign of restoration. Framed.
