Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board on three corners. The two vertical edges of the sheet are deckled and irregularly cut. There are some light creases throughout, which are in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media. Extremely close inspection reveals a few tiny specks of media accretion in isolated places throughout.
