Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to convey the green text towards the centre of the composition apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are artist's holes towards all four corners and intermittently along the upstretched canvas. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist’s choice of medium and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet night.
