Condition
No examined out of frame. The collaged elements appear to be securely attached to the sheet. There are pinholes at the right-hand corners of the sheet which appear to be the result of the artist's working method. The sheet undulates slightly and there is craquelure in areas of the black pigment in the lower right and upper left quadrants. In areas the craquelure is cupping and may resulted in losses. There are some soft creases at the lower left of the horizontal edge and in the collaged element at the centre of the left vertical edge. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in good overall condition.
The work is presented in a window mount and square profile wooden frame.
