Condition Report:
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is very minor discoloration of white paint throughout, in particular on top left, inherent of the artist's choice of medium and working process. This work would benefit from a light clean to remove the dust on the panel. There is no restoration apparent when viewed under the UV light.

Colour:
The catalogue illustration is accurate; however, the blues are more visible and the blacks are stronger with more contrast in the original work.
