Condition

The work is in good condition and has been authenticated by the Cherkaoui Foundation. . The loose canvas shows some minor craquelures to the left edge. Somethin hairline residues are spread across the canvas and most probably mixed to the varnish, this is inherent to the artist creative process and choice of medium. The canvas is loose. No apparent sign of retouching under the ultraviolet light. The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate, with the overall tonality being softer in the original work.
