Condition

The colours in the catalogue's illustration are fairly accurate although it does not convey the richness of the texture. Except 3 pinhead sized dots of oxidation located in the upper left corner of the largest panel, and a few superficial scratches on the plexiglass, this work is in excellent condition.
