Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities, cuts and holes are in keeping with the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals a very faint and superficial scuff to the lower centre of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
