Condition
Colour:

Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few very faint and unobtrusive media accretions scattered in the white pigment. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
“The presence of human figures gives the place the necessary existence and vitality without which it might remain to the observer merely a network of incomprehensible planes and lines. The figures have the function of a catalyst that triggers the imagination.”
