Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a number of surface irregularities, original to the work's execution and inherent to the artist's chosen medium. Some fine dust fibres are adhering throughout, in particular to the recessed areas.
