Condition

The paper is taped to the mat from the reverse. There are pinholes on each corner. There is very slight rippling to the paper, consistent with the artist's use of medium. There are a few creases to the paper: one to the right of the woman sitting and a couple in the man's heads. There is a faint scratch to the right of the young girl's head. There is a small area of craquelure and possible loss in the man's right thigh. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
