Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although there is greater contrast in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The paper is hinged to the backing board on the upper edge. The upper and left edges are extremely lightly deckled. The collaged elements are stable, with some glue residue in places, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media.
