Condition
STRUCTURE
The canvas has been relined, otherwise the work appears in very good overall condition.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
UV light reveals an opaque varnish which makes the surface difficult to read conclusively. There appear to be a few small retouchings to the body of the figure second from the right edge and also around the hand of the furthest right-hand figure, all of which have been well executed.
FRAME
Held in a dark stained wood frame, clean and ready to hang.
