Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a thick layer of uneven varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV examination reveals some fluorescence to some of the white pigment on the rightmost figure and to the arm of the of the fourth figure from the left, which could pertain to the pigment used. No traces of retouching are visible. This work appears to be in very good overall condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the tones are slightly more subtle in the original.
