Condition
Executed on paper mounted on canvas. The edges are reinforced with tape. Some cracking especially in the green and blue pigments with some associated losses primarily in the female figure's hair. The sheet undulates slightly at upper corners. The sheet appears faded overall. Some loss of pigment to the sheet at upper and lower left corners, and at upper edge towards the left. Some surface abrasions to the sheet are a form of incising that is part of the artist's process. There appears to be two artist's pinholes near upper left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
