Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is softer in the original work. A thin layer of dust covers the work. Upon very close inspection, tiny stains are visible on the back of the sculpture. The wooden base and horizontal bars present minor imperfections. This work is in very good original condition.
