Condition

Colour: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the texture of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few surface irregularities scattered throughout the composition, inherent to the artist's working process. There is a very fine line of cracking to the wax towards the centre of the left outer edge of both circles. There are several small brown media accretions above the left circle, and several beneath the right circle.
