Condition
The colours in the printed catalogue are fairly accurate although they are not as bright as in the original work. The neon has been changed in 2005 and is in good working condition. There are light wear marks visible in the outer corners of the work, most notably in the lower edges. Faint water stains are visible under close inspection along the edges of the figure's face. Along the upper edge, the nails on the rim of the stretcher have caused faint dents in the canvas visible under close raking light inspection only.This work is in good condition.
