Condition
This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. The bearing tonality is slightly warmer compared to the catalogue illustration and the upper collage is uniformly darker as visible in the catalogue illustration. The bearing is slightly wavy due to the artist's media choice. There is a minor trace of fold by the upper left corner. Towards the center of the lower edge there is a loss visible in the catalogue illustration, probably due to the artist's media.
