Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer yellow undertones in the background of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some minor wear to the frame along the lower edge. Further very close inspection in raking light reveals a few small and unobtrusive surface scratches, rub marks and tiny media accretions in isolated places to the plexiglass.
