Condition Report:
Condition:
This work is in good condition. There is very minor discolouration of the metal frame in places, with few strips of mirrors in the inner frame cracked with one small loss on the centre left of the inner frame, all related to age and inherent of the artist's working process. There is no restoration apparent when viewed under the UV light.

Colour:
The catalogue illustration is very accurate; however, the mirrors sparkle and reflect more in the original work.
