Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some streaking and discoloration in each of the panels, which is inherent to the medium. The medium has been applied slightly unevenly, which is inherent to the working method of the artist. There is evidence of a minor loss in the bottom right corner of the second panel from the bottom left (as pictured in the catalogue) where a rhinestone appears to be missing. Unframed.
