Condition
Executed and collaged on black blotting paper (the edges unevenly trimmed by the artist), the sheet is not laid down. Hinged to the mount in two places at the top corners on the reverse. There are a few scattered creases to the edges of the black blotting paper, some associated with the artist's process. Otherwise, apart from a small spot of loss in the pink figure and very minor slight discoloration in the cream paper, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue although the pink is more vibrant and with overall greater contrasts in the original.
