Condition

This work is in generally good condition. The paper is rippling and there is evidence of a tear in the lower right quadrant. There are shiny areas from glue used in the collage and a dark mark at upper center in the pink band. There is some craquelure and potential for flaking in the green near to the artists' signature.
