Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good original condition. There are tiny artist's staple holes and small tears in places around the outer edges of the composition, inherent to the work's execution. There is undulation and creases to the cardboard throughout, all of which are inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process. Upon very close inspection there are a few minute specks of media loss to the yellow section of paint in the upper left corner.
