Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. There is consistent discolouring to the paper collage throughout and rusting to the metal sheet, both of which are in keeping with the age of the work and the artist's choice of medium. The surface of the metal sheet is irregular, likely original to the work's execution.
