Information

Gouache, opaque white and shellac on newsprint (double sheet). 57 × 79,7 cm (22 ½ × 31 ⅜ in.). On the reverse signed and dated in felt-tip pen in black: N. Schwontkowski 1985. Framed

Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The newsprint with slight handling marks. At the right sheet edge a tear that pre-existed the painting process as well as along the edges isolated small losses and tears. The sheet slightly undulated due to the artist's technique and mainly in the margins in places with traces from the artist's workshop. The paper slightly time stained due to the material and overall slightly creased. The corners each with up to 2 minuscule mounting holes. Ultraviolet light reveals no retouchings or repairs. On the reverse with traces from the artist's workshop. In the upper corners firmly mounted onto the support cardboard
