Condition
Colours:
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality tends more towards metallic lead grey in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are very slight undulations to the metal in the top horizontal section of the work, with four small dents to the left side. There are further small indentations to the lower part of the left extreme edge and to the corner lower left extreme corner and very slight vertical undulations to the right edge of the work. All of these undulations and indentations appear to be original to the work's execution. The paint surface has worn in places to the lower part of the left and right extreme edges. A very small impact dent is visible to the top of the left extreme side edge.
