Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals two small spots of retouching to the neck and hair of the figure and some minor flecks to the upper right and lower left of the composition. There are horizontal lines of craquelure running through the centre of the composition, all of which are stable. This work is in good overall condition.

‘Victor’s surrealism doesn’t make things less real, and doesn’t escape into unrealism, but make the existence of being more real – including all the entities and all the daytime and night-time sensations they provoke.’
