Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper, and the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the blue highlights in the wax apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The wax is cracking and flaking in places, inherent to the artist's choice of medium.
