Condition

Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter and brighter in the original and the catalogue illustration fails to convey the iridescent quality of the metallic paint. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveales some light ware in isolated places along the edges. There are some small networks of drying crack towards the upper left and lower left of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
