Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white background is lighter in the original and the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the iridescent quality of the butterfly wings.
Condition: This work is in very good condition and in full working order. Extremely close inspection reveals some unobtrusive surface scratches and rub marks in isolated places to the plexiglass.
