Condition
Paint loss is present to all four corners, more significantly to the upper left corner. Very subtly specks of paint loss are present in the areas of impasto. A label is affixed to the reverse, numbered No. 28, Serie XXIV. 0.6. in addition to a stamp, numbered 16 91 Sere No 446. The paint layer is dry, but stable. Under ultraviolet inspection, the light blue areas fluoresce and are still active; however, this is an inherent effect of the pigment used by the artist. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
