Condition

The work is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. Upon close observation, there is evidence of light wear and handling around the edges of the painting, but the paint layers are healthy and well-preserved. Examination under ultraviolet light shows minor retouching predominantly on both figures, bottom left quadrant and along the right margin. However, this is not visible with the naked eyes. Framed.
