Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate
Condition: This work is in fairly good condition. There is extreme wear and paint loss centred around the corners and towards the centre of the painting, inherent to the artist's style of stacking and storing her works. There are nails and previous nail marks scattered along the edges. There is a minor scratch on left centre edge towards the bottom of the work. There is a tear in the back, behind the collage figure on the right. No restoration is apparent under the ultra violet light.
