Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey the reflective quality of the work.
Condition: this work is in very good condition. There are light support bars' marks along the edges as visible in the catalogue illustration. There are a few small areas of natural oxidation to the inside of the artist's incision and laceration.
