Supporto e superficie pittorica in buone condizioni, l'opera non è rintelata. Leggere tracce di sporco superficiale sull'area gialla al centro. Una puntiforme caduta di colore nel quadrante inferiore destro. Esaminata alla luce ultravioletta, sono visibili alcuni restauri in corrispondenza dei passaggi bianchi, solitamente a opera dell'artista stessa. Tenuto conto di quanto sopra, è nostra opinione che l'opera sia in condizioni di conservazione molto buone.
Support and paint film in good condition, the work is not lined. Light superficial accretion to the yellow area to the centre. A pinpoint paint loss to the lower right quadrant. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is indication of inpainting in places along the white passages, usually by the artist herself. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
