Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, Condition: This work is in good condition. Very close inspection reveals a fine pattern of drying craquelure most notably towards the lower left hand corner and to the areas of thicker impasto to the face, some of which have associated losses. Further very close inspection reveals historic frame rubbing in places to the extreme edges and some superficial scuffs and scratches in places throughout. Close inspection reveals horizontal stretcher bar marks to the upper and lower horizontal edges which have some very fine associated cracks. Inspection in raking light reveals some impressions and fine feather line cracks in isolated places throughout. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.

“Deep down, drawing reflects a moral attitude: from the moment it becomes a skeleton for flesh, it also structures a search for intensity. In fact, drawing cannot betray us, it is the best seismograph of an artist’s affective and cultural capacity” (Antonio Saura cited in: Exh. Cat., Strasbourg, Musée d'Art moderne et contemporain, Antonio Saura: Crucifixions, 2002, p. 45).
