Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey the reflective quality of the mirror elements and the three-dimensionality of the surface. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals minute accretion spots to the top right mirror.
