Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The left edge is deckled and there is a slight undulation to the sheet. There is evidence of glue residue on some of the collaged elements, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. There are some irregularities in the watercolor and in the surface texture of the green-painted areas, which appear to be original and intended by the artist at the time of execution. The sheet is hinged verso intermittently along the top and side edges. Framed under glass.
