Condition

It has not been possible to see the work fully unframed. Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, affixed to the overmount with tape along the right and upper edges. There are some paper and glue remnant on the verso along the upper edge, probably from a previous mounting. Collage elements are stable. Extreme edges of the collage element are unevenly cut with associated tiny nicks. The sheet is light stained with a few dots of foxing in places. This work is in overall very good condition. Please note that colours are less yellow than in the catalogue illustration.
