Condition

Under UV light are visible three retouchings: by the lower left corner, on top of the left sew and by the right lower border. Minor and unobtrusive losses by the edges of corners.

Catalogue Note
"Io con il taglio ho inventato una formula che non credo di poter perfezionare. Sono riuscito con questa formula a dare a chi guarda il quadro un'impressione di calma spaziale, di rigore cosmico, di serenità dell'infinito"
