Condition

The collage areas appear to be in excellent condition. There are some smudges to the white background consistent with the artist at work. Under ultraviolet light, there appear to be a few scattered areas of inpainting in the background, the largest being an intermittent 10 in. diagonal line beginning 2 in. from the top edge and 18 in. from the right edge. Otherwise in good condition overall.
