In good overall condition. Superficial scratch to the lower section of the figure smoking a pipe's coat approx 2cm in length. Slight mottling effect in areas, in particular to the lower section of the central figure's coat. The trousers of the figure wearing a hat to the right of this and to the coat of the figure smoking a pipe, this is probably by design. A cluster of very feint foxing spots behind the figure smoking a pipe's head and also next to the head of the tall figure to the extreme right. Not examined out of the frame.
