Condition
This work is generally in fair condition. There are two diagonal protrusions around top left and right corners, and a circular protrusion near top right corner. There are a visible vertical stretcher mark in the center of the work and a dent which measures approximately 3 cm near the top edge, near the stretcher mark. There is minor wear in handling around the edges. Having examined the work under ultraviolet light, there seems to be a minor restoration in middle figure's eyes and a spot in the figure's hair near the eyes. The restorations also appear on the feet of the center figures.
