This work is in very good condition overall. There is light evidence of wear and handling to the edges of the sheet including minor time-staining to the lateral edges, which are obscured by the top mat. The top edge of the sheet is deckled and there is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. There are artist’s pinholes in the upper right and left corners. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.

"At the time I was interested in the cave paintings of Altamira. I looked at photographs of them. I think I was fascinated by the spirit they projected, even in photographs—these horses and bulls, I guess, charging across the cave wall. Those photographs had something to do with why I painted the horses."
