Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute surface scratches to the plexiglass, as well as some very light burnishing to the brass elements, which have occured over time. Very close inspection reveals a small gap at the point were two of the constituent elements should meet. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals a tiny speck which flouresces darker to the top right corner tip.
