Description: signed JEROME MYERS and dated 1923, l.r.; signed JEROME MYERS on the reverse

oil on canvas

Condition Note: Canvas is not lined (backed/protected by a piece of plexi-glass) SURFACE: craquelure throughout (with slight cupping)--a few scattered, tiny losses from flaking UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: touch-ups/strengthening hav been added to certain areas--figures ON the carrousel at top, the oultines of some of the figures in the mid-ground and the area around where the female child half-sits/half stands at right--all of this seems to be artist's hand and added over original varnish; signature was probably added later as well
