Condition
Oil on original canvas. There are some small areas of paint loss and abrasion at the extreme edges of the work and several areas of unstable paint cracking and lifting in scattered across the composition, including but not limited to a small area in the lower right quadrant, below the purple pigment, and an area below the yellow circle at the centre of the composition. This has resulted in some flecks of paint loss, including a spot in the yellow circle at the centre of the picture. There is some dirt across the paint surface.
Ultraviolet light reveals areas of florescence at intervals along the edges of the canvas with further areas scattered across the composition. These appears to relate to areas of retouching.
The work is presented in a square profile natural wood tray frame.
