Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant with the background tending more towards pure white, the dark green towards electric green, the red swirl at the centre towards brown and the yellow brushstroke towards bright orange in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a very light handling mark to the left hand edge of the frame towards the top corner, one towards the top of the right hand edge of the frame and one towards the centre of the right edge of the frame. There are a few very light scratches to the top left hand corner of the frame's interior. There is a light rub mark to the extreme bottom edge of the frame, towards the right hand corner.
