Condition

The canvas is not lined. There are crude retouchings along the edges, most probably to cover frame and minor surface abrasion. These retouchings extend irregularly towards the dark blue circle in the upper left quadrant and towards the red form at the centre of the right edge. Otherwise this work is in very good condition.
