Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background creams have more of an ochre hue in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is very light wear in places to all four corner tips and along all four edges, and some light handling marks to the top centre of the left hand edge. There are two light rub marks towards the top left hand corner. There is stable lifting to the edges of some of the paper collage elements which would appear to be original to the work's execution. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
