Condition

There are two small impacts visible in the upper left, as well as minor losses in one of the central figures. Widely patterned craquelure is visible. Under UV: old varnish fluoresces green; a ½ inch wide spot of inpainting appears at lower right (visible to the naked eye); and old areas of inpainting and reinforcement fluoresce faintly.
