Condition

This work is in very good condition. There are signs of wear to the outer aluminium frame and some corner tips are slightly misaligned, this only visible upon very close inspection. The two extreme upper left stamps are slightly raised. The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate,with the overall tonality being slightly softer in the original work. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the stamped texture of the work.
