Additional Notes & Condition Report
Frame rubbing. Stretcher marks slightly visible. Scattered cracquelure, mostly confined to the bodies of both figures. Surface dirt, could benefit from a light cleaning. Two pin-hole size losses along the bottom center edge. Masking varnish makes detection of restoration difficult under UV light - there appears to be traces of older restoration around edges.
Description of the painting adhered to the back of the canvas - appears to be an excerpt from an old publication.
