Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Inspection in raking light reveals a few media accretions and superficial scratches to the Plexiglas in isolated places, none of which affect the print.
