Condition
Two pinhole sized losses are visible upon very close scrutiny. A small water stain is also apparent in the centre of the work. Slight irregularities to the paint surface are noticeable, however, these may be inherent to the time of creation. The painting is in good overall condition, as viewed. This work will be included in S H Raza: Catalogue Raisonne, Volume II (1972 – 1985) currently under preparation by Anne Macklin and The Raza Foundation.
