Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality of the figure is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: Unexamined out its frame, this work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable and secure. Extremely close inspection reveals three minute and very unobtrusive impasto peaks which are pressed against the glass. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
