Condition
Executed on corregated cardboard which has unevenly cut edges, inherent to the work. The cardboard is affixed with tape to the mount in two places near the upper and lower centre. There appear to be no signs of restoration visible under UV light. The upper left corner is bent, this is likely part of the artist's process. There is a slight depression in the face of the figure, also inherent to the work and a few very tiny dots of loss to the yellow pigment. Otherwise, this work is in very good condition overall.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are lighter overall in the original.
