Condition:
The cherub making hot chocolate has restoration to his right arm, to the tea kettle, to his left foot and to the base to disguise a large firing crack. The figure of the boy holding grapes has small losses to the grapes and leaves in his hat and to the ribbons on his coat and pantaloons, possibly refired as the colours are unusual.
