Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the actual work and fails to convey the sculptural quality of the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection there is light wear to all four corner tips, notably to the top right extreme turnover edge. There are some light handling marks. There are few spots of light media accretion to some of the tips of the nails and a few unobtrusive light accretions elsewhere. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
