Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is darker in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some tiny cracks and associated specks of loss to outer tip of the smaller horizontally protruding element, and a few tiny losses along the outer horizontal edges. All other surface irregularities appear to be in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of materials.
