Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to a sheet in several places on the reverse with artist's pinholes in all four corners. Only visible when examined out of the frame and in very close inspection is an extremely short and unobtrusive tear to the lower edge, towards the left corner. There are some handling creases throughout, which are likely to be original. All collaged elements are stable.
