Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is brighter in the original work. Moreover, the image does not accurately convey the zigzag shaped surface of the aluminium support. Please find attached an additional image of the work. Consequent to the aluminium support, few pinhead sized paint losses and stabilized hairline cracks are visible mainly on the upper half of the work. There are few minor faint dirt accretions, also visible in the catalogue illustration.
