Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original. The illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some elements of the circular wooden base are slightly fragile, inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
