Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is richer and warmer in the original work with the pink of the figure on the upper right quadrant tending more towards dark purple. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor undulation and lifting to some of the circular collage elements, all of which are stable and original to the work's execution. There is no evidence of any retouching when examined under ultraviolet light.
