Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The orange is a brighter tangerine colour and there is more mint green colour in the lower right. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very minor paint skinning which is sound and stable along the bottom left edge which is inherent to the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
