Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount along the upper edge. All collaged elements are stable. The sheet has discoloured slightly over time. Only visible when examined out of its frame, there is a pinprick sized tear to the right edge, 25 cm. from the upper right corner. Very close inspection reveals some tiny spots of foxing throughout, and a few small networks of drying cracks in places to the black paint.
