Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although it fails to convey the pearlescent nature of the metallic paint in the background in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few tiny and unobtrusive media accretions in isolated spots towards the lower edge of the composition. There is some very light wear to the lower left and upper right corner tips. Further close inspection reveals three very faint and unobtrusive rub marks towards the lower edge, approximately 30cm. of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
