Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, with the green tending more towards apple green in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the metallic bronze paint visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to a canvas backing board at intervals on the reverse. There is some slight undulation to the sheet. There is a short diagonal tear approximately 4.5cm. long running down from the right side of the top extreme edge. There is a light semi circular handling crease on the left side of the bottom extreme edge.
