Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the paper tends more towards cream than pink in the original work. Moreover, the illustration does not accurately convey the collage.
Few very minor creases are located around the head of the figure. Six pinholes are located along the edges, 2 the left edge, 1 on the upper and 3 on the right. Due to the collage technique used by the artist, the sheet presents some slight imperfections.
This work is in very good condition.
