Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. Some superficial scuffs are visible on the surface of the plexiglas. Some losses of plexiglas are visible under close inspection around the base (around the two legs of the mannequin). Some superficial cracks all due to the artist process are visible under very close inspection. This work is in very good condition.
