Condition
This work is in very good and stable condition overall. There is evidence of hairline craquelure to the silver paint at the toe, the heel and on the sides of the shoe. It appears that some of the silver paint has worn off on the interior ankle. The variations in texture appear inherent to the artist's working method.
