Condition
The sheet is not fully laid down, but is adhered along the top edge to a backing support card. The sheet has been unevenly cut down the left hand edge. There are pin holes to four corners of the sheet, with a deckled upper edge, and small traces of resultant loss to the top left corner, only visible upon very close inspection.
There is a minor crease to the right hand side of the black collage element, visible upon close inspection, and slight possible time staining to the extreme edges of the sheet, only visible upon very close inspection. There are a few spots of very minor flaking to the black pigment, but this excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Housed behind glass in a thick gilt wooden frame, float-mounted against a cream backing card.
