Condition
Please note that this lot will be included as no. 58/98 in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by Gemana Ferrari Matta.
This canvas is unlined and well stretched. The stretcher on which it is stretched is more recent but in general this picture appears to be in perfect condition. The signature on the reverse is clearly visible. Under ultraviolet light there appear to be no restorations and the picture should be hung as is.
