Condition Report:
Executed on cream wove paper, supported on a sheet of restorer's tissue paper, whose edges are taped to the mount. The sheet is slightly time-stained and there are a few spots of foxing in places. There is some minor mount-staining to parts of the extreme edges and a few tiny nicks. There is a pin-sized indentation just to the left of the right-hand woman's neck and a few very minor creases in places. This work is in overall very good condition.
