Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the white is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some surface irregularities and paint shrinkage in places which are in keeping with the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals some tiny fly spots and mintue specks of media in isolated places throughout. Very close inspection reveals a very faint and fine small network of cracks in the white pigment to the centre of the lower edge and a short and unobtrusive abrasion to the upper centre of the left hand edge, which fluoresces darkly when examined under ultra-violet light.
