Galleria Gian Enzo Sperone, Turin

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The canvas is slightly lifting in a few places along the extreme edges of all 4 panels (front). There is some light wear with associated specks of paint loss to all 4 panels' feet. Some wear can also be noticed upon close inspection to the green media on the reverse, in particular to the yellow and pink panels. There is a faint pink paint mark to the reverse of the green panel, along the right edge, approximately 30 cm. above centre, as well as a few other paint marks elsewhere, inherent to the artist's working process. There are some very faint stretcher marks visible in places at the figure's waist level. There is a shallow, small indentation to the pink panel 40cm below the upper right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
