Condition

The colours are less vivid in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. As visible in the catalogue illustration and due to the artist process, some areas of the work are left unpainted in the upper right and left quadrant. Also there are some evidence of a former frame along the edges. Due to the artist process, leaving the work unstretched in the past, some light minor marks are visible near the upper edge. Under very close inspection a tear (approx.5cm) appeared to have been restored near the upper edge at 28 cm from the right edge. Inspected under UV light there is no evidence of any retouching.
