Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The two cardboard boxes are separate and the top grey box rests within the bottom orange box. There is evidence of light wear, handling, surface scuffs, accretions and dust throughout. There are scattered areas of craquelure with associated, pinpoint pigment losses throughout, most noticeably at the bottom edges and corners of the orange box and along the top edges and corners of the grey box. There is a tear at the top back left corner of the orange box, where the two boxes meet. The surface texture and irregularities are likely inherent to the artist's working method.
