Condition
This work is in very good condition. The sheet and canvas appear to be in good condition. Some small areas of exposed sheet around the edges appear slightly time darkened and the surface is very slightly dirty. Under UV light: there is a 2 inch diagonal line in the female figure's temple which fluoresces and may be a restoration, though it appears more likely to be a surface scuff. Otherwise, fine.
