Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the background tends more towards a deep lavender in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon close examination there is very minor wear to the bottom left corner tip. There are a few scattered pale blue tiny spots of media accretion to the surface which would appear to be inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
