Private Collection, Caracas (acquired directly from the artist circa 1985) 
Acquired from the above by the present owner 

This work is in very good condition overall. The media layer is stable, and the pigments are bright. A few pinpoint dark brown spot accretions are present at the extreme upper right edge. A few very faint brown drip accretions are present in the lower right quadrant, in the white field above the signature. Under ultraviolet light inspection, a minor half-inch drip accretion becomes apparent in the lower left quadrant in the arm of the figure.
