Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges which exhibit some minor losses along the top and lateral edges. The collaged elements are all stable, but the area of the figure's brown hair at the center left edge is slight lifted, yet stable. The white media accretions on the figure's torso appear inherent to the artist's working method. There are some light abrasions to the red felt in the lower left corner and it has rubbed down in the lower right corner. There are scattered light and unobtrusive accretions throughout. Unframed.
