Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. There is evidence of light handling in isolated places to the plinth and the chair, as well as light burnishing to some of the papier-maché crests.
