Condition
Executed on buff laid paper, laid down on the backing board, floating in the mount. Stamps and numbers on the reverse of the backing board indicate that the work was laid down prior to the 1934 Milan exhibition. Intermittent dotted lines run parallel to the edges of the sheet; these appear to be inherent to the artists process. The colours have remained fresh. Apart from some scattered media marks this work is in excellent condition.
