Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few very faint handling marks to the extreme overturn edges, and a faint diagonal impression towards the centre of the lower half of the composition which is possibly original. All other surface irregularities are inherent to the casting process.
