In overall very fine condition retaining vivid hues and the mica flecks in the striped wallpaper. Not examined out of frame due to the stability of the mica flecks. The paper with general even toning commensurate with age and use; mounted on canvas, evident on the proper left side. Minor foxing to the bodice of the lady and the piano and neck of the young girl. A crease and possible repair above the gentleman's head holding the recorder.
