Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and soiling with associated surface scratches to the frame, notably in the corners. There is some light oxidisation to the wire and mesh, which is in keeping with the medium's natural ageing process.
