Condition
The work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged in two places at the top to the backing board. There is some pale time-staining to the sheet, including a faint mat stain around the edges (most visible at the left and bottom edges). The colors of the pen are slightly faded and there is some adhesive residue surrounding the collage element. There are a few scattered adhesive accretions on the brown paper (barely visible). Framed under glass.
