overall: 39 1/4 x 58 3/4 x 5 inches.
In overall fine condition. There are scattered small surface losses. The frame shows losses to the surface along the edges and at the front. Examination under UV light reveals a heavy layer of milky green varnish throughout. The painting has been restored and presents evidence inpainting, in each of the five panels. The central panel is the most touched up, as both figures' faces have been inpainting. Other elements of inpainting otherwise seen in the background, near corners, or in small elements of the figures (near the tambourine, on some of the figures' forehead etc). See Specialist's pictures. Additional images available upon request.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
