Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue ilustration are failry accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original and the illustration fails to fully convey the metallic quality of the gold paint apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a short scuff and drip mark to the centre left of the bottom edge, which fluoresces under ultra-violet light and a small speck of media accretion just below this.
