Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the rich texture of the collaged elements apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All elements are secure. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of stable and isolated hairline cracks to the thicker areas of impasto. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
“Valdés takes up this world of pure form and turns not the portrait but rather the hat into his subject matter: he changes the genre and turns it into a still life.”
