Condition
The panel is flat and even and ensuring a stable support. Ultraviolet light reveals extensive clustered strokes of retouching in the background and in the violin-player, however there are virtually no visible retouchings in the figural grouping to the left. The overall appearance of the work under normal light is good and it is ready to hang.
