Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background colour has more green undertones and the overall tonality is more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some signs of wear and scratches in places to the frame. Further close inspection in raking light reveals some thin surface scratches in places to the plexiglass and a rub mark towards the upper right corner, approximately 10 cm from the upper edge and approximately 30 cm from the right edge. All other irregularities appear to be in keeping with the artist's working process.
