Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are not accurate, as they fail to convey that the coloured pigment is true fluorescent pink. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few small media accretions, and some extremely light rubbing along the lower extreme edge, centre of the top extreme edge, and at the left side of the lower right quadrant. Upon extremely close inspection, there are a number of small, isolated drying cracks in the thicker areas of pigment throughout the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
