Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to convey the metallic quality of the graphite and overall tonality is deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The cardboard is attached verso to the backing mount. Visible only when inspected in raking light are a few superficial and unobtrusive scratches in isolated places, which are in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of medium.
