Condition_report : The present work is in overall good original condition. There is a scattered accretion to the upper region of the work most notable to the upper right quadrant of the work. There has been peripheral rubbing to the margins of the work most notable to the lower margin. The upper margin of the work is discoloured and this discolouration runs along the top of the margin and is approximately 1cm deep (picture attached). At each corner of the work there a minor pinhole. There is a fine horizontal scratch to the lower centre margin of the work measuring approximately 6.5cm in length. A scuff mark can be located to the lower left of the work to the left of the signature measuring approximately 3.5 cm. There is very fine craquelure to the white and blue pigment throughout the figures and masks. There is a minor area of discoloration to the mask in the lower right quadrant of the work. There is minor surface dirt and dust throughout the work and it could therefore benefit from a clean. Please note that this work has not been examined under UV light.
