Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the background tends more towards teal and is more uniform and the vertical blue rectangle is richer in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the shimmering nature of the metallic and pearlescent paints in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Visible only under certain light there is evidence of very light and unobtrusive rubbing to the silver pigment. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
