Condition
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The beads are slightly looser along the bottom edges and there are few stains on the outer canvas but nothing apparent on the face of the work.
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate; however, they fail to convey the sparkly and vibrant nature of the beads and the Swarovski crystals. The overall tonality is also richer in the original work.
