Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although it fails to convey the metallic quality of the paint in the left-facing panel and the overall tonality of the right-facing panel is more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places. The upper edge of the first sheet is irregularly cut and the lower edge is very lightly deckled. Each sheet undulates slightly.
i. Extremely close inspection reveals a very short and unobtrusive tear to the centre of the lower edge of the first sheet. There are light handling creases throughout, which are likely to be original.
ii. There are handling creases in places all of which are likely to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium.
