Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly darker in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some minor wear to the tape in places on the overturn edge and evidence of glue residue, which is inherent to the artist's choice of medium. Close inspection reveals a faint stretcher bar mark along all four edges and fine tension creases in isolated places throughout; notably surrounding the top two oval shapes. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
