Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone of the background tends more towards a soft grey and the paper tone of the collage is warmer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The card is attached verso to the backing mount and the edges are slightly irregular. All collaged elements are stable. Extremely close inspection reveals some glue residue in places, which is original to the work's execution.
