Condition
This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. There are light traces of dirt along the margins and on the thickest pigment areas. There are four tiny losses probably inherent to the artist's media towards the center of the left margin. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light. The white tonality is slightly warmer compared to the catalogue illustration.

"Marino si avvicina all'astratto ma si ferma un attimo prima, sul confine fra finito e infinito, arretra di un millimetro quasi impaurito. (...) Marino è un creatore di "pieni" che, anziché astratti, si trasformano in poesia, in nuova vita. E' l'invenzione del vero o del fantastico. Per Marino il vuoto non è lo spazio. Il vuoto, per lui, è contronatura e lo spazio è l'universo lucente, artistico, dove l'idea inventa il vero. Marino non fa dell'astratto ma crea della spiritualità pura."
(Lorenzo Papi, in Marino Marini pittore, Ivrea 1987, p. XVII)
