Provenance:

Acquired in Quito, Ecuador c. 1969.

Framed: 37 x 33 x 1 in.

The painting is in overall good condition, with craquelure noted throughout, particularly in the heads and faces of the two figures. There are some associated small losses scattered throughout, for instance at the top center edge, at bottom left, and around the mother's left eye and in her hair. Under UV light, some pigments fluoresce but there are no apparent signs of inpainting. Additional images available upon request.
