Colours: The colours in the the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the red in the illustration tends more towards tangerine in the original work. This work is in very good condition and is securely framed behind plexiglass. There are faint handling marks in places to the edges and inside edges of the box frame and a also to the right of the top of the blanket. There is some discolouration in places to the edges of the blanket, inherent to the artist's choice of medium and likely to be original to the work's execution
