Condition
The panel is flat, even and ensuring a stable support with two horizontal panel bars on the reverse. Ultra-violet light reveals a number of scattered strokes and spots of retouching, which are mostly very small; notably near the framing edges towards the upper-left and upper-right corners, along the lower part of the left framing edge, and some very small spots in the figures and background; there are also some areas of green fluorescence relating to old varnish and a selective clean in the past. This painting is in good condition, clean and ready to hang.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame, with a nameplate.
