Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are faint rub marks and handling marks scattered in places throughout. There is a tiny spot of loss towards the centre of the bottom right hand quadrant. There are further tiny specks of loss within the circular area in the centre of the composition. One of the metal sticks has lost its tip and there is further very minor wear to some of the extreme tips of the other metal sticks. There are two lightly protruding spots of paint to the lower left hand quadrant with associated fine cracks, only visible upon very close inspection. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
