Executed on cream laid paper laid down on board. The board is stable. There is some minor staining visible at the edges, in particular towards the top part of the right edge, possibly due to previous mounting. There is an area of light surface stain in the region of the collage element (possibly due to the artist's practice), a further small area of stain towards the centre of the right edge and an additional minor area on the first word of the dedication. This work is in overall good condition.
