Condition
The varnish seems to have slightly turned yellow, which is not visible on the catalogue. A light cleaning would benefit the composition.
The oil is on its original canvas, and holds the Durand-Ruel stamp on the back.
Under UV light, the work appears in a very good condition.
Tiny repaints are visible on the first cavalier's vest, and next to the horse's saddle. A very small crack is visible on the lower left.
