Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer and richer, with more hues of pink throughout the composition in the original work. Please note that the catalogue illustration is flipped.
Condition according to the work:
This work is in very good condition. There are faint handling marks in places around the outer edges of the sculpted background. There is a approximately 1cm rub mark to the right section of the camel's back and one further small rub mark 15cm above the lower left corner.
There are two small indentations to the bottom of the right column and a very small chip to the extreme lower right corner tip. There are two minute bumps: one towards the top of the upper right quadrant and another to the centre of the lower right quadrant, both of which are inherent to the artist's choice of medium. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
