Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are several scratches originating from the lower left vertical edge, and one running through the rat in the lower right corner. There are several other unobtrusive scratches and media accretions scattered around the composition, which are all original to the work's execution and inherent to the artist's choice of medium. There is no retouching apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
