Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals
areas that fluoresce slightly unevenly, resulting from the artist's uneven application of paint.
