Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. There is an uneven surface to the work which is in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of material. Close inspection reveals a few tiny scratches and burnishing in isolated places throughout and a few minor nicks in places which are original. Further close inspection reveals a few minute spots of oxidation in places.
