Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although they fail to convey the texture of the textile visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few pulled threads in places, some irregularities to the knitting and some faint areas of very light discolouration in places, all of which are in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media. Further close inspection reveals evidence of light handling in isolated places.
