Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background tends more towards a soft cream in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the textured nature of the surface visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to the left two corners. All other irregularities are inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
