Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the glossy surface texture and reflective mirror apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The photograph is undulating slightly beneath the mount. There is a tiny nick to the centre of the top edge of the frame and some slight wear to the bottom of the lower left edge of the frame.
