Banksy

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a small drill hole in both the top two corners and light handling marks scattered in places throughout the composition. As is inherent to the artist's working technique and choice of medium, the surface and edges have some light rub marks and spots of wear scattered in places throughout, most of which are only visible upon close inspection. There are small media losses to each of the four corners and there is a thin diagonal rub mark towards the centre of the left hand edge. There are several lighter rub marks in the lower left hand quadrant and also towards the upper centre of the composition.
