Condition
Oil on cradled panel; the panel is sound and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are a few small paint losses in places predominantly to the figures' faces, pertaining to fine and stable lines of craquelure and paint shrinkage which are scattered throughout. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
