Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the yellow tones are brighter and more vibrant, and the red tones slightly deeper, in the original. The illustration also fails to convey the many overlapping layers of paint and collage.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to all four corners. Close inspection reveals small losses to the top edge near the right corner, the centre of the bottom edge, and the red pigment near the centre of the upper right quadrant. There is minor canvas draw to the top right and bottom left corners, which is inherent to the stretcher shape. No restoration is visible under ultraviolet light.
