Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is laid down on canvas board. All four edges are deckled and all collaged elements are stable. Close inspection reveals some slight discolouration of the paper along the lower and upper edges.
