Condition
There are two spots of glaze loss with associated paint loss in the blue area above the signature and one in the blue necklace of the woman on the right. There is a spot of fluorescence visible under UV light, towards the centre of the plate in the pink area, possibly retouching or possibly intrinsic to the fire process. Apart from a minor surface craquelure in the glaze in the green area to the left of the signature, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate, although the colours are more vibrant and brighter in the original.
