Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute media accretion towards the lower left hand corner tip. Further very close inspection reveals a few very faint and superficial scuffs to the extreme edges of the artist's frame and in places to the Plexiglas. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
