Condition
The color is fairly accurate on the catalogue illustration. The image does not fully convey the relief of the shaped canvas depth.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Under close inspection there are few tiny dots of repainting (which do not fluoresce under UV light, so maybe inherent to the execution of the work) located under the lower shape on the left. Visible under close inspection near the right edge, there is a light vertical mark on the canvas.
This work is in good condition.
