Framed: 27 x 53 1/2 inches.Significant deposits of surface dirt, dust, and debris; the unlined canvas is in generally poor condition and exhibits a severe sagging overall; one paint loss in the upper right corner and one cluster of pinpoint paint losses in the center; frame abrasions visible along the lower edge; instances of craquelures scattered throughout; small drips of white paint in scattered areas; areas of the painting appear to have been overcleaned, particularly within the faces. Under UV light: areas of overcleaning fluoresce differently than surrounding areas; the thick varnish prohibits a clear reading of possible inpainting, although inpainting is visible along the forehead of the third-to-the-left figure and in an area of inpainting in the lower center.
