Condition Report: The canvas does not appear to have been lined, however four boards applied verso in order to protect the canvas prevent further inspection.Impasto is good. Light rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Inspection under UV light reveals some very fine-lined retouching to the flesh of the figures. Other areas of paint with some fluorescing but this appears to be a characteristic of the original pigments rather than later additional paint. With a light green varnish.
