Acquired before 1980

Executed on paper and card which have been laid down on canvas by the artist. Tape surrounds the extreme outer edges of the canvas. The impasto has been well-preserved within the central composition, though multiple minor flakes of paint loss have occurred within the green border, particularly at upper, lower and center left. Under UV light: certain darker pigments fluoresce within the central composition where a couple tiny strokes of inpainting may be visible, and additional strokes of inpainting are visible within the outer border, particularly at top center, likely to address prior flaking. Overall the work is in good condition.
