Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the paper tone is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the backing board in numerous places. All four edges are deckled, and have a few associated tears. All collaged elements are stable. Close inspection reveals some light creases in places. Very close inspection reveals some tiny spots of discolouration and foxing in isolated places throughout. Further close inspection reveals some fine networks of drying cracks in places to the thicker paint, some of which have some minute associated losses.
