Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although it fails to convey the texture of the collaged fabric apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board in several places and undulates slightly. Close inspection reveals an extremely faint and unobtrusive cut towards the lower left corner which has been repaired. There are a few light handling creases along the top edge.
