Condition
Original canvas. There is craquelure in the lower right quadrant of the painting, and some small chips of paint loss in the dark green pigment near the woman at right's thigh and knee. There is paint los in the lower right corner in the light green pigment. There is some paint loss in the blue/green pigment near the feet of the nude woman at left. Paint is thin across the top of the canvas, though appears to be original. Under UV pigment fluoresces in the women's faces, though this appears to be original, and in some areas of the darker pigment. Varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. Held in a gold painted wood frame with plaster moulding.
