Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they fail to fully convey the reflective nature of the silver paint. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some light wear to all four corners and in places along the edges. Further close inspection reveals three small rub marks towards the upper right corner, a very thin hairline crack towards the centre lower edge, and a small number of horizontal surface irregularities to the upper right quadrant. Visible only when examined under ultraviolet light, there are a few media accretions to the lower right quadrant, and a few small areas of retouching to the left edge and towards the right half of the lower edge, which fluoresces under ultraviolet light.
