Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the lighter green is more neon, the purple tends more towards royal blue and the white tends more towards soft cream in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. There is evidence of light wear and handling towards the extreme outer edges. Close inspection reveals a number of fine, hairline cracks throughout. The canvas is slightly slack and there are some unobtrusive irregularities in the pigment in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
