Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There are small white accretions concentrated in the lower right quadrant, specifically in the black section of the figure. The collage element is stable and secure; there is some lifting to the edges and corners of this element. Under ultraviolet inspection, some fluorescing occurs; however, this may be inherent to the various media selected and used by the artist.
