Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All of the elements are stable. Visible only upon very close inspection in raking light, there are a few handling marks and isolated unobtrusive rubmarks scattered in the glass, characteristic of the material used. There is wear and some adhesive residue in the lower right corner, which is possibly inherent. All other surface irregularities are likely to be inherent to the artist's choice of found medium and working process.
