Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are brighter than in the original work. Artist pinholes are visible in the four corners. The edges of the work are covered by tape. Under raking light inspection, scattered scratches are visible. All surface irregularities are most likely in keeping with the artist's technique. Under close inspection, small faint stains are visible near the face. This work is in very good condition.
