Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the hair on the big mushroom is more of a teal colour and the hair on the mushroom above it tends more towards off-white. The yellows of the eyes and mushroom base tend more towards beige. The catalogue illustration fails to fully capture the metallic silver quality of the background.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
