Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly warmer and there are fewer magenta undertones visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount, is irregularly cut and undulates. There are short tears, nicks and creases throughout, all of which are in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process.
