Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few small scuffs and rub marks to the frame, most notably to the lower left hand edge. Inspection under raking light reveals a few superficial scuffs to the Plexiglas.
