Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged in several places on the reverse. There are artist's pinholes to the edges. The right hand edge is irregularly cut, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of found media, and there is yellowing to the edges of the paper, which also looks to be original. There are light handling marks and a short tear to the centre of the extreme left hand edge, both of which look to be original.
