Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the mount at all four corners, floating in the mount. There is a small repaired tear running across the bottom right corner. The edge of one of the pieces of collage has slightly lifted away from the surface. Apart from some tiny nicks to all four edges, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the colours are more subtle in the original.
