Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the reflective surface of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection and under raking light, there are a few hairline surface scratches in places throughout the diasec face, inherent to the artist's choice of medium.
