Condition
The red is deeper in the original work than in the catalogue illustration.
The surface presents six superficial and stable hairline cracks only visible under very close inspection
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, each of the four edges as well some minor specks throughout the surface fluoresce. This is most probably due to the nature of the paint and therefore intrinsic to the artist's process.
This work is in good condition overall.
