Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the flesh tonality tends more towards a salmon pink in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a small number of extremely light, hairline and unobtrsuive surface scaratches in places to the plexiglass.
