Condition
This work has not been recently restored. The metal sheet on which it is painted is quite wavy in the upper right. The corners have become slightly distorted. The paint layer is stable. It is noticeably dirty and dull. If the work were cleaned, it does not seem that there would be any issues in the figures. However, it is more than likely that some restoration has occurred in the center left, upper center and center right, where old damages can be seen. It is possible that the waves in the metal panel can be improved. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
