Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are slightly more saturated than in the original work. As visible in the printed catalogue illustration, there is a dent caused by the screw located at the back of the sculpture's head, resulting from former hanging. The black paint outline has faded in places most notably on the left yellow arm. The legs of the sculpture present tiny scattered chips in the paint. This work is in good condition.
