Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the figures' faces tend more towards a light pink, and the green is deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some minor wear in places along the edges, and a few unobtrusive drip marks in isolated places. Further close inspection reveals some tiny scratches and a small area of craquelure towards the lower right corner, and a small rub mark towards the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
