Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the blue tending more towards pale green. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some extremely light vertical lines of discolouration in places around the extreme edges all of which are inherent to the artist's working process.
