Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the richly collaged elements apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some light surface dirt in the collaged and recessed areas. Upon close inspection, there is some scattered paint loss along the outermost edges and folds of the protruding collaged elements, some of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. There are a small number of hairline cracks scattered in a few places. All other surface irregularities are inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
