Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is an approximately 2-inch long drip accretion along the black-painted area at the figure’s chest and a minor abrasion with associated loss is visible at the green-painted area of figure’s backside. Under very close inspection, light pinpoint yellow spots are visible throughout, possibly related to the artist’s working method. Please note the rectangular base is not part of this work.
