Condition

The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Very close inspection reveals some minor spots of burnishing to the tips of some of the protruding elements, and some light and superficial dust fibres which adhere to the underside of the sponge. This work is in very good condition.
