This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. There are light traces of soiling along upper and lower edges. There are some minor craquelures towards the centre of the painting and by lower left corner. There are a few retouchings all along the left edge, by upper right corner and lower left corner visible under UV light.

"...In me cresceva sempre di più questo bisogno di liberarmi della struttura: perché nel mondo non esiste soltanto la semplicità, esiste la complicazione, la pesantezza, l'ambiguità. Allora io ultimamente ho provato una grande felicità a fare dei segni semplici ripetuti, non più dissimili come erano prima"
