Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the work, apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are a number of scattered fine hairline scratches and light rub marks scattered in places throughout and a light media accretion towards the lower left corner, all visible in the catalogue illustration. These are all likely to be original and inherent to the artists choice of media.
