Condition
The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals no signs of retouching. There are scattered thin lines of paint shrinkage to the black elements and some stable craquelure in certain coloured shapes, most prominently to the pink triangle and blue moon-shaped area at the right edge. There are two tiny paint losses: one to the orange circle on the upper left corner and a further to the upper part of the pink moon-shaped element. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
