Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the yellow is brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some dust has adhered to the surface in places, and there are a few cracks to the wood, which is in keeping with the artist's chosen materials. Close inspection reveals a few small losses to the lower edge, and a loss to the upper left edge. There are two further small losses; one 9 cm. from the lower edge and 20 cm. from the left edge, and one 1 cm from the lower edge and 34 cm. from the left edge; and a small dent 4 cm. from the lower edge and 16 cm. from the left edge with a small media accretion below. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
