Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although they do not accurately convey the texture of the masonite and are slightly more contrasted. The work is executed on a wooden panel. Because of the texture of work, tiny abrasions scattered throughout the work are visible under close inspection. Under UV light inspection, no traces of restoration are visible. This work is in good original condition.
