Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original work where the yellow tends more towards a very light pea green, the orange tends more towards blood orange and the white is more brilliant.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very light wear to all four corners and there are extremely faint handling marks towards the centre of the top, bottom and left edges. There is a further very faint handling mark towards the centre of the bottom left hand quadrant. All the aforementioned are only visible upon close inspection. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
