Condition
This painting is unlined and stretched on what appears to be its original stretcher. Tamayo's complex use of gritty materials in his pigment is very much in evidence throughout this work. There appears to be one small loss in the right elbow of the male figure. Elsewhere, there are no apparent losses or restorations. The work should be hung in its current state, if this small restoration is attended to.
