Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. On the wooden ball, some scattered hairline cracks to the white painting and a few light scuffs due to the artist's process are only visible under close inspection. On the black plexiglass base, some superficial scattered hairline scuffs are only visible under very close inspection. The electric system is fully operational. This work is in very good condition.
