Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the lead panel is lighter and softer, tending more towards greenish-grey in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. One of the arms of the music stand is slightly bent. All other irregularities to both stand and panel are inherent to the artist's chosen media and working process. It is the artist's intention that the musical score and candle may be replaced.
