Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Inspection in raking light reveals a few splash accretions and superficial scuffs to the Plexiglas. Close inspection reveals a few small and unobtrusive chips in isolated places to the edges and corners of the frame. Very close inspection reveals a hairline crack and small associated losses running along the lower left face of the frame.
