Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, laid down on board. The lower edge is slightly unevenly cut and the extreme right edge is folded over the board. The sheet is slightly timestained. There is a 1cm-long repaired tear to the upper right corner, away from the image and not visible when framed. There is an artist's pinhole to each of the four corners and two to the lower edge. There are some minor glue remants to the centre of the left and lower extreme edges and some tiny paint losses to some of the yellow, black and white pigments, due to paint shrinkage. There is an area of staining to the lower part of the standing woman's dress which may be due to the laying down process. This work is in overall good condition.
