Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the flesh tones of the figure tend more towards yellow in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the reflective nature of the work.
Condition:
This work in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some light and superficial media accretions in places. Visible only in raking light are a few superficial and isolated surface scratches.
