Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection of the red areas reveals two minute apertures towards the right of the top edge, one towards the centre of the bottom edge, a very small and minor scuff towards the centre and one towards the centre left of the bottom left quadrant, all of which appear inherent to the found material medium; and a very small and minor loss in the white paint towards the upper centre of the top left quadrant, which is probably inherent to the artist's method. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
