Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate although the illustration fails to convey the sculptural nature and kinetic movement of the work.
Condition: This work is in very good and sound working condition. Close inspection reveals a short and very thin hairline rub mark towards the bottom right corner, an extremely faint handling mark towards the upper left corner, and a minute paint loss to the extreme bottom edge towards the bottom left corner. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
