Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter, brighter and more vibrant in the original and it fails to fully convey the metallic qualities of the orange and dark blue pigment. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a very faint scuff mark towards the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
