Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original, with the petals of the left flower tending towards a florescent pink, the dark purple tending more towards a royal blue and the flesh tones more towards a light peach.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few dust fibres adhering to the surface in places throughout. There are two shallow indentations; one towards the top centre left of the composition and one to the bottom right.
