Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is more vibrant and the surface more reflective, tending more towards a vibrant gold in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some very faint spots of oxidation in places to the surface which are inherent to the artist's choice of media.
