Condition
The panel has been laid down on masonite. There are 4 pin-sized holes in the panel: 1 in the bright green background in the upper left corner, 1 in the black roof near the centre of the left edge, 1 in the blue/green wheel in the lower left corner and 1 in the yellow sky between the moon and the acrobat's head near the upper edge. There is some minor shrinkage, notably in the face of the central violinist and some abrasion along the left edge, but no evidence of retouching under UV light. This work remains in very good original condition.
