Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is very minor wear in places to both the card and paper elements and there are light handling creases along the lower edge of the central sheet, all of which are probably original to the work's execution. There is a tiny media accretion below the lower left corner tip of the paper sheet and the top right corner of the sheet is lifting slightly.
