Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the plaster is warmer and the overall tonality of the wood contains fewer magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches to the wooden plinth. All other surface irregularities are likely to be inherent to the artist's working process.
