Condition
Lined. The work presents well. There are areas of fine craquelure consistent with a picture of this age and a faint horizontal stretcher bar mark across the top of the picture. Frame abrasion is visible along the right edge. The paint surface appears stable. Under UV: there are infillings to areas of craquelure and there are other small areas of retouching (one close to the foot of the male figure which may be to a small hole).

John Ruskin described Weary Life as "A notable picture; very great in many respects" (Academy Notes, 1858, p. 139). In it, a young farm girl has found an exhausted, itinerant entertainer and his daughter sleeping beneath a haystack. He is dressed in an exotic costume and has various curious items protruding from his sack of possessions, including playing-cards and a tambourine, while another tambourine (presumably the girl's) lies beside the weary pair.
