Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler and there is less orange undertone in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collage elements are stable. Close inspection reveals some superficial scuffs and scratches to the artist's frame.
