Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a minute protrusion 15cm below the centre of the upper edge on the white margin. The lower left corner of the frame has separated slightly. There are scattered scratches to the plexiglass adjacent to the bottom edge of the frame. There is a 30cm light vertical crease running from the lower left of the bottom edge which is likely to be inherent to the work's execution.
