Condition

The colours in the printed catalogue are slightly lighter than in the actual work. This work is not mounted on a stretcher. The white edges are dirty and wavy. Fold marks are visible in the fabric most notably along the middle of the composition. Along the fold marks, cracks in the paint have resulted in scattered losses. All other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist technique and choice of medium.
