Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality contains fewer magenta undertones and the background tends more towards true white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals evidence of extremely light handling along the edges and few tiny and very unobtrusive hairline cracks towards the upper edge of the blue shape, which are visible in the catalogue illustration. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
