Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the reds are slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are several shallow vertical undulations to the zerox collage of the figure's forehead, inherent to the artist's working process. There are several tiny artist's retouchings to the black zerox of the figure's coat. There is a very faint rub mark to the centre of the bottom edge. There are several extremely faint rub marks to the figure's jacket which are only visible upon very close inspection. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
