Condition
Discoloration appears along the length of the lower edge possibly due to frame/mat abrasion. There appears to be craquelure and slight lifting of the paint layer in the upper center between the figures; however, the paint layer does seem to stable overall. Three tears, intermittently spaced, are visible along the top edge. Under ultraviolet inspection, two circles located in the lower right edge by the right foot of the figure, approximately ¼ of an inch in diameter each, fluoresce. Overall, the work is in very good condition.
