Condition
The artist has used a deliberately distressed board, which reveals the layers and grains of the wood.
There are handling marks to the work, and some slight spots of rubbing surrounding the areas of the attached hands. On the hands, the foam-resin has cracked on the right hand, and this would benefit from re-attachment. There are a few traces of light rubbing to these painted hands.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
Housed in a thin black wooden frame.
