Acquired from the above by the present owner

This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse to the backing board in several locations. The edges of the sheet are unevenly cut do to the artist's working method. The sheet undulates slightly due to the artist’s choice of medium. There is notable hairline craquelure to the upper, blue potion of the composition, with a few associated pinpoint pigment losses. There is light handling and minor wear throughout with some associated pigment losses and scattered minor accretions, particularly along the edges of the work. Framed under Plexiglas.
