Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tone of the wood is slightly paler in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. A fine layer of dust has collected in the recessed parts throughout. The ladder at the reverse of the truck appears to have been repaired and there are visible glue spots around this area. On close examination there are a few cracks to the wood in places, notably to the wheels of the truck, inherent to the artist's working process. The wheels are slightly loose on their axels.
