Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some very light surface patina and oxidisation appeared overtime, which is inherent to the medium's natural ageing process. Upon very close inspection, some light dust fibres have deposited in the recesses.
