Condition Report:
The canvas has not been lined and is securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher. The canvas is somewhat loose and could benefit from some light re-tensioning. There is some minor frame rubbing with associated paint losses along the extreme framing edges, mostly covered by the frame. There are small tears along the tacking edges, also covered by the frame.
Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals an even layer of residual varnish and some minor cosmetic retouching, including:
- some small lines in the man's eye and in the woman's face;
- some spots in the foliage of the cypresses in the upper right quadrant;
- a small area in the lower left corner; and
- some strokes along the upper framing edge.
Overall, this work presents very well and is in good condition.

Presented in a decorative gilt frame.

Provenance:
Private collection, London (purchased circa 1996)
