Condition
Slate. The wooden frame is slightly scuffed in two points along the lower edge, probably consistent to the mounting elements. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. There are a few dots of pigment loss, notably to the lower left green shape, to the lower beige shape and to the black pigment towards the centre of the composition. There are a few scattered humidity marks, possibly original. The medium appears to have slightly faded in the blue towards the centre of the upper edge. This work is in overall very good condition.
