Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The rough edges and darkening of the exposed wood are inherent to the artist's choice of medium. There is a light rub mark to the extreme left-hand edge towards the bottom corner and a small area of loss and lifting to the wood to the extreme bottom edge towards the left-hand corner. There are some very light handling marks in some places along the four edges, predominantly to the bottom right-hand corner.
