Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some very light wear to all four corners, most notably to the lower left corner. There is a pinhead-sized puncture towards the bottom of the right hand quadrant, only visible upon close inspection. There are two faint spots of media accretion towards the top left hand corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
