This work is in good condition. The colours are richer and brighter than in the catalogue illustration. The canvas is not lined. A close inspection reveals some minor frame abrasion along the edges. Examination under UV light reveals a thin restored diagonal scratch in the lower left quadrant and a small horizontal line of retouching to the left of the right-most figure.
