Condition

This works appears to be generally in fairly good condition overall. The white background exhibits a fair amount of craqueling, faintly visible in the catalogue illustration. However, the craqueling does not extend into the central figure. There are two compression marks just below the right blue sphere and just above the central figure's left knee. No traces of retouching are visible under ultraviolet light. Framed.
