Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The work consists of 3 parts. There is soft creasing and associated wear and cracking to the pigment on the muslin, due to the found nature of the materials. There is light surface soiling throughout. There are multiple pin-holes along the edges of the muslin, due to previous installation. There are ties along the top edge of the muslin.
The two sculptural elements are in good condition. The left foot has some subtle evidence of a fine crack that has been repaired, with some associated inpainting. There is some light surface soiling to both feet elements.
