Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the paper tone tends towards cream in the original and the catalogue illustration fails to convey the texture of the collaged elements.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to a backing sheet on several places. There are minute spots of faint foxing through the composition. All collaged elements are stable.
