Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original. The figure’s face tends more towards a light brown and the illustration fails to convey the full three-dimensionality of the work. Condition: This work is in very good condition.
