Condition
The work is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. There is evidence of gentle craquelures on the center of the right margin (yellow and orange paints), bottom of the right quadrant (background area between the figures and trees) and middle area (red paint of the temples). Upon close observation, an accumulation of dirt is visible on the four edges. Examination under ultraviolet light shows aged touch-ups on the middle of the top margin (blue paint), on the tree near the center, top and bottom right margins and on the top left corner below the tree (blue paint). However, this is not visible with the naked eye. Framed.
