Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. This work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Under close inspection, wear marks to the edges and corners are visible, some of which have resulted in tiny losses. Tiny rub marks are located throughout the surface. There is a small dent in the lower right quadrant. Under UV light inspection, one tiny area is fluorescent in the lower left quadrant.
