Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The resin has evenly discoloured over time. All other surface irregularities are likely to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
