oil and silver paint on paper laid down on canvas

This work is in very good condition. Some minor craquelures across the surface of the paper, most importantly on the upper right area of the work, these are all inherent to the artist choice of medium and creative process. The work has been relined on canvas and in some areas along the edges floats slightly. The colour are fairly accurate with the overall tonality being softer and darker in the original work. Some areas of bright green on the right edge of the painting are not noticeable in the catalogue illustration.
