Condition
The colors are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original.
The work is on its original canvas. There are some craquelures throughout. Some wear to the canvas is visible, especially at the upper and right edges, probably due to a previous framing. There are 3 paintlosses visible: at the upper right and left corners, at the centre of the lower edge. Under UV light, there is a thin line of retouching along a stretcher mark at the centre of teh composition and 15 cm from the bottom.

"L'éveil
frappe sur mon pied
toute une aurore
sans fin de lune
et par ce jardin d'un monde
où le pétale est de feu
sur sa tige de verre
je vais
cueillant l'éclosion souveraine
des fruits de la rosée."
(Gérard Schneider, "Poète", in Mots au sol, cité par Jean Orizet dans Schneider, peintures, collection L'Autre musée, 1984)
