Condition

Colour: the colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter and warmer in the original work, especially the background and foreground hues. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are two repaired tears towards the lower left hand corner of the lower left quadrant, visible on the reverse, both of which are original to the work's execution. There are sporadic light residues of adhesive and masking take at the turnover edges, intrinsic to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
