Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and contains more red undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection in raking light reveals a few extremely faint, short and unobtrusive hairline surface scratches in the perspex towards the bottom left corner. Further close inspection reveals a minute chip in the artist's frame towards the top left corner.
