Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blue is brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a small rub mark to one of the edges of the blue violin on the reverse. Visible only in raking light, there are a small number of thin and unobtrusive surface scratches to the plexiglass in isolated in places.
