Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, hinged to the mount in two places along the right edge with tape. There are a few minor paper loss and small areas of paper skinning, with associated small tears, in two places along the upper edge (not visible when framed) probably from a previous framing. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. The sheet is slightly undulating. There is a diagonal crease running from the left edge to the lower edge (not visible when framed). There are a few artist's pinholes to the centre of the circles. There is some minor paint shrinkage predominately to the white and black pigment. The sheet is light stained and colours appears to have slightly faded. This work is in overall good condition.
