Condition
Very good condition. Canvas is unlined. The work is in very good condition. Collage is visible in red figure on the right hand side. The artist's method involves flattening the thickest pigment, so the texture that results retains a bit of surface dirt. Under UV light, some original pigments fluoresce, but no inpainting is apparent.
