Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and contains fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals evidence of light wear in isolated places to the outer edges and wear to the tips of the two raised elements, which is characteristic of the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals two very fine and unobtrusive surface scratches, one towards the lower right corner and the other to the left of the lower protruding element. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
