There are three or four lines of re-colouring, mainly around the green fabric area to the top central part of the picture, there are minor losses from around the borders and small holes to both left and right top corners, probably where it was pinned or nailed to something in the past. There are areas of wear and fading particularly to the green dress of the central figure and to some of the figures at the bottom right hand side, other minor creases in places. Generally quite average. The frame is in reasonable condition although possibly a small repair to the bottom left hand corner.
Painting dimensions are 38.5cm x 27cm.
