This work is in very good overall condition. There are few minor craquelures as a result of the paint drying where the paint was spread most thickly. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light.

"Il Riopelle assolutamente maestro della propria arte fa emergere dalla tela mondi nuovi e di raro potere d'incanto. Dei mondi in ebollizione come usciti da una bocca oracolo di un vulcano". "Riopelle, the absolute master of his art, makes new worlds emerge from his canvases with a rare power to enchant. Boiling worlds that seem to have erupted from the mouths of oracular volcanoes".
