Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overal tonality is deeper and richer in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The faint handling creases to the collaged elements and scattered tiny artist's pinholes around the edges of the composition are inherent to the artist's working process. There is a small tear to the upper section of the right exteme edge.
