Condition
Both the painting and the paper are in good condition.
There is no sign of foxing, tearing, punctures, creases or watermarks. There are pin sized holes on the four corners of the painting, probably due to the securing of painting while executing artwork.
No retouching was detected upon examination under ultraviolet light.
The colours represented by the catalogue illustration are quite accurate although the figures' reddish undertones are more prominent in reality.
