Condition Report:
The work was executed on paper attached to the support in several places along the edges. The edges of the paper are unevenly cut. There are pinholes in the top right and bottom left corners. The paper is slightly undulating in line with the artist's chosen technique. Upon very close inspection there is a small ‘chip’ to the surface of the dark purple ink to one element of the composition, left of the centre towards the upper edge. The work is in overall very good condition.
