Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality has fewer red undertones and fails to fully convey the textured surface in the original Condition: This work is in very good condition. Owing to the fragile nature of the medium there are some small losses in places, most notably along the rim and the bases of the work, some of which have associated hairline cracks. Further close inspection reveals some media accretions that have adhered to the edges of the work and the joins of the material.
