Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalouge illustration are fairly accurate although in the actual work, the canary yellow tends more towards a tangerine orange, the fusia pink tend more towards violet and the orange in the background tends more towards a flourescent red. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very minor wear in the top two corner tips with associated tiny paint losses. There is a small rub mark towards the centre of the upper left hand quadrant. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
