Condition
Executed on white wove paper, not laid down, affixed in intermittent points to the mount and floating in the mount. The collage elements are stable. The sheet is slightly undulating, due to the application of media. The edges are unevenly cut. There are few nicks along the extreme edges, notably to the centre of the upper edge. There is a small (approx. 1 cm) diagonal tear to the upper part of the right edge (possibly original). This work is in good original condition.
