Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition and is protected beneath a plexiglass box. There are several unobtrusive staple holes on the side edges which are original to the work's execution. Upon very close inspection there is minor wear to the four corners of the composition. There are two tiny specks of media accretion: one to the extreme bottom left corner tip and one 8 cm to the upper right of this. There are some extremely faint handling marks in places along the extreme edges of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
