Condition

The painting has been re-lined. A scratch appears in the middle of the composition on the right. Other small scratches are scattered on the surface, with small spots of dirt. The painting would benefit from a light cleaning. Under UV light, minor repaints are visible in the background, as well as a repaint on the tree on the upper left, between the woman standing up and the women in front of her (on her arm, in her blond hair, in the brunette's hair and her face, and shoulder). Two other repaints are observable on the lower left on the blue dress, as well as on the stone she is sitting on.
