Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the grey background tends more towards off-white in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich surface texture apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are several fine surface cracks throughout, most notably to the black shape, and a further vertical crack (approximately 5 cm.) to the right of the lower part of the central black shape. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
