Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, particularly the top half of the composition, in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully capture the three-dimensional nature and glowing effect of the light box. Condition: This work is in very good condition.
