Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the head tends more towards green and the hand tends more towards a deep fuchsia in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals evidence of light rubbing and tiny and unobtrusive surface scratches isolated in places, all of which are characteristic of the artist's choice of medium.
