Condition

The board is sound. There is some extremely minor surface dirt and a slightly discoloured varnish. The work could benefit from an extremely light clean. Otherwise in good condition. Ultraviolet light revels two small areas of fluorescent pigment, one in between the figures' heads and one to the left of the left hand figure's head, possibly due to retouching. Held in an ornate composite frame in fair condition. Under glass and unexamined out of frame.
