Condition: This work is in good condition. The paper that the artist has worked had previous tears on the bottom right corner, along the centre, centre top edge and the upper left edge as well as a folding mark on centre left which create a light surface imperfection but are part of the artist's chosen medium and working process. There is a small rub mark on top right corner. Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are very accurate.

"All my work is a dialogue with the 'portrait', whether individual or collective. In my portraits there is a nostalgic fiction."
