This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The surface texture variations are consistent with the artist's working process and choice of medium. Under close inspection, there is evidence of minor wear and handling to the corners and turning edges and a few, scattered unobtrusive pinpoint surface accretions. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few, unobtrusive pinpoint losses to the pigment. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.

“The work of Beatriz Milhazes epitomizes this process of reinvention and emphasizes a double movement within contemporary paintings: abstraction as an activity drawing from both the visual world and experience, and hybridity as a drawing together of different sources in the creation of something new.” Simon Wallis, Beatriz Milhazes, Bignan 2003, p. 21
