Condition
This work is in good condition overall. All collaged elements are intact with a few areas of minor undulation along the edges. The edges of the linen are unevenly cut and frayed, which appears inherent to the artist's working method. There is wear to all edges of paper collage elements. There is scattered hairline craquelure and pinpoint pigment losses throughout. There is evidence of some minor surface dust and handling marks throughout. Framed under glass.
