Condition
The painting has been relined. There is craquelure throughout the work. Along the upper right margin there is a network of small paint losses; visible in the lot listing. When inspected under UV light there appear to be small restorations and inpainting throughout. Just above the sleeping cat there appears to be a repaired tear measuring approx. 3 inches in length. Inpainting visible along all the figures. Due to a thick varnish it is difficult to determine exactly the extent of the restorations. Major losses to the gilt frame along the edges. The edges are not stable which may result in further losses. Many of the pieces that have broken off are included with the artwork but not attached.
