Condition

Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are very minor hairline craquelure on the red parts of the figure which are only visible upon close inspection and is inherent of the artist's choice of medium. There is no restoration apparent when viewed under the UV light, except for a very minor drip mark on the extreme bottom left due to the working style of the artist, only visible under the UV light. Colour: The catalogue illustration is very accurate. The red in the tshirt of the figure tends more towards a darker red in the original work than the blood red in the illustration.
