Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few pale isolated pinhead-sized fly spots to the work's surface. There is some very light wear in a few places to the four extreme corner tips and along the extreme edges. There is a tiny short rub mark to the lower centre of the central vertical orange stripe. Upon close inspection, there is an extremely faint drip mark visible to the centre of the dark green vertical stripe on the left of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
