Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some minute and unobtrusive pulled threads in places, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media.
