Description – Analysis of the Type, Style & Iconography :
The sgraffito is on the facade facing the street and was implemented using five layers of plaster, applied one over the other, in black, pink, two shades of ochre, and white, with traces of green and red surface colouring in some areas. There is no signature or date on the work.

Signature/Artist’s Initials: 

Condition:
Overall, the sgraffito is in a stable condition. However, the black plaster layer has degraded in certain areas and remains of its colour have been washed onto the white facade. The building has been renovated and the sgraffito is surrounded by insulation panels that rise 10 cm above the work. It has been retouched with white paint but there are visible drips in several spots.

Conservation / Restoration: No
