Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals evidence of very minor wear with an associated pinprick-sized nick to the extreme left edge approximately 10cm from the lower left corner. Visible only when examined extremely closely in raking light, there are a few minor abrasions to the plexiglass scattered in isolated places.
