Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate though brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: The sheet undulates slightly and there are staples throughout the composition holding the collage to the base mount. The styaples along all four edges show faint signs of rusting. There are several holes throughout the composition where staples have been removed, possibly by the artist. There is some very light discolouration to the centre of the bottom edge. There is a very small tear to the left edge two thirds of the way up the sheet and a further tear 10cm down from the top right hand corner on the right hand edge. There are several spots of wear throughout, possibly intrinsic to the artist's working process.
