Condition
Colour:
The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate; although the white tends towards a softer cream tone in the original work.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. There is very slight discoloration to the top extreme edges and very light intermittent spots of foxing on the outer edges, mainly the bottom extreme edges, only visible under close inspection. The small paint mark on top left and top right and the scattered specks of dust between the Plexiglas frame and the original work are inherent to the artist's working process.
