Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to the lower corners. Upon close inspection, there are a number of tiny fly spots scattered in places. Some light dust specks are trapped beneath the plexi frame, some of which adhere lightly to the surface. Close inspection revelas three small abrasions on the lower extreme edge; two towards the lower left corner and one towards the lower right. No restoraion is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
