Colour: The colours are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich bronze-coloured patina present in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some very fine dust fibres have adhered in the central recess. All surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's chosen medium and original to the work's execution.
