Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality tends slightly more towards coral in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals extremely short and unobtrusive cracks to the uppermost tip of the central cut. Visible in raking light is a circular impression towards the upper right quadrant, which results from the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals a pinprick-sized impact to the right edge, approximately 20cm. from the upper right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
