Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the texture visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition and in full working order. Close inspection reveals a few unobtrusive surface abrasions scattered in isolated places.
