Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonalities are more saturated in the original, with more contrast between the graphite and paper. The illustration fails to convey the texture of the collaged elements.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The left edge of the sheet is deckled and the sheet is hinged intermittently on the reverse to the mount. There are a few faint smudges throughout, which are inherent to the artist's choice of media and working method.
