Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are several scattered cracks within the resin notably to the reverse of the work. There is slight discolouration to the resin throughout. There are numerous light surface scratches throughout largely only visible under a raking light, notably on the top and bottom edges. There is a line of imperfection to the resin along the extreme right hand edge on the front intrinsic to the artist's working process. There are two discoloured scratches to the centre of the lower half of the front.
