Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work where there are more pronounced green hues to the parrot. The catalogue illustration also fails to accurately convey the brilliant reflective surface of the polished stainless steel.
Condition: This work is in very good condition overall. Upon close inspection, there are scattered faint handling marks and minor spots of discolouration / surface irregularities to the polished stainless steel. There are further minute specks of discolouration to the steel in the lower and upper left quadrants, and some associated very fine scratches to the polished steel.
