Condition
It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are a few pinholes notably at the upper right and the lower left corner. There are a few tiny horizontal fine lines of craquelure (approx. 3 cm long) above the woman's head and just below the man's proper right leg. There is a faint horizontal scratch (approx. 15 cm long) towards the centre of the composition. This work is in overall very good condition.
