Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. There are faint hairline cracks to the circular element that follow the grain of the wood underneath and are inherent to the artist's choice of medium. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals specks of inpainting in places throughout the circular element.
