Condition

Executed on cream paper, laid down on restorer's paper. There are a few minor creases to the centre of the right edge and some tiny paper losses to all four corners. Some of the collage elements are slightly lifting in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the background is slightly lighter in the original.
