Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals tiny creases to all four corners, with an associated loss to the lower right corner tip. Further close inspection reveals three minute dents, which have specks of associated loss; two towards the centre of the lower edge and one towards the upper right hand corner tip. Very close inspection reveals very small surface abrasions which are in keeping with the artist's working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
