Condition

The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the blue is deeper than in the original work.Under close inspection, a small dent is visible in the center of the upper edge. Further close inspection under raking light reveals scattered rub marks and scratches with associated superficial losses on the lower rim. Along the upper and right rim, 2 tiny holes in the canvas are visible in places which are the result of former framing. Please refer to Contemporary department for further images.
