Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All elements are stable and well intact. There are variations and irregularities to the painted papier-mâché, including a time staining to the newsprint and a few areas of pigment separation, due to the artist’s choice of medium and working method. There is some minor oxidation evident to the base of the work.
