Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the rich surface texture and the metallic pigments apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a pinhead-sized media accretion towards the top left corner of the extreme top edge. There is a light finger mark on the upper centre of the left edge of the right silver panel. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
