Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey fully the reflective quality of the enamel and metallic paint. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is an extremely faint and minor rub mark in the orange area to the left of the bird's beak. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
