Condition

The canvas has not been lined and is securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals some areas of fluorescence, notably in the first two figures to the left, which appear to be associated to un-even varnish rather than to restoration. There is no visible sign of retouching. This work is in good condition and is ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame with a beige velvet inner slip.
