Condition
The coloured element is executed on cream wove paper, laid down on thick black wove paper which is in turn laid down by the artist on cream card. The card appears sound and the collage element is secure. Apart from some very fine scratches and handling marks to the black paper, and some tiny paint losses to the central bulge of coloured element, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the tones are slightly more subtle in the original.
