Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue is fairly accurate, although the surface of the work is more patinated in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities and patination are in keeping with the work's natural ageing process. Close inspection reveals a superficial layer of dust in the crevices.
