Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly more turquoise in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are artist's pinholes to some of the corners. Close inspection reveals minor wear to the edges of the individual panels. There are a few minor creases in isolated places throughout; notably three towards the bottom left edge of the left panel. Further close inspection reveals three minor tears towards the bottom left corner of the right panel and some minor scuffs in isolated places to the central and left panels, all of which appear to be inherent to the artist's working process.
