Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original.and fails to convey the three-dimensional nature of the element attached to the centre of the composition. Condition: The work is in very good and original condition. Very close inspection reveals a superficial layer of dust that has adhered to the surface. Some of the impasto peaks are lightly pressed. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
