Condition
This work is in good overall condition, as is the canvas which is clear and taut. There is evidence of light wear and some associated paint loss to edges of the painting due to abrasions from the frame. Upon close inspection, there is evidence of cracking to thicker impasto, especially at yellow sarong at center. There is very slight discoloration to the white pigments at upper left quadrant, consistent with the age of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor areas of restoration at figures, at left edge, and at bottom edge on the left side. Framed.
