This work is in generally good overall condition. There is a light impression of the stretcher mark along the upper margin. There are minor traces of wear by the left corners. Colors are slightly more delicate compared to the catalogue illustration. There are scattered small paint losses on the surface. Scattered retouchings are visible under UV light, generally of tiny dimension except for some slightly more extended in correpondence of few white pigment brush strokes. There are few light craquelures mostly concentrated towards the upper part of the work.

Credo che la pittura sia appena nata, che la materia colore sia, oggi, più che mai nuova, che abbia delle possibilità immense di rivelazione nella sua natura stessa, infinitamente malleabile e meravigliosa.

I think the painting is just born, that colour media is, today, more than ever, new, with immense possibilities of revelation in its true nature, infinitely malleable and magnificent.
