Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the actual work and fails to convey the sculptural quality of the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. On close inspection there is minor wear in places and a few associated small losses along the outer edges. There is a small loss in the centre on the pink panel. The top central wooden element is stable yet slightly loosely connected to the main wooden panel. All other surface irregularities are likely inherent to the artist's working process and choice of medium.
