Condition
The canvas has been relined. There are some areas of very fine craquelure visible in the dark pigments in the background and some light frame rubbing in the centre of the upper and left framing edges. There is one spot of paint flaking in the background to the right of the mandolin player (not visible in the catalogue illustration) which might benefit from some consolidation.
Ultra-violet light reveals a thick layer of residual varnish which makes the surface quite difficult to read. However, some fine lines of in-painting are visible in the background and one small spot of cosmetic retouching is visible in the woman's left thigh.
Otherwise, this work presents well and appears to be in overall good condition.
Presented in a dark wooden frame.
