Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
The work is in very good condition. There are two very thin hairline rub marks located to the centre of the bottom right section, only visible under racking light. There is a small speck of paint loss to the extreme edge of the most protruding left pinnacle, a very small one to the top centre extreme edge and another small one to the edge of the base towards the back left corner. Close inspection reveals a few tiny spots of media accretion towards the bottom right edge, only visible under racking light.
