Condition
Colour: the colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality of the background is slightly warmer and fails to fully convey the three dimensional, collaged elements apparent in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The collaged elements are stable. Extremely close inspection reveals there is very faint wear to the lower left corner tip and to the upper edge towards the right corner.
