Condition

The colours are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is more contrasted in the original work. All collaged elements are stable. There are light bluckings to the center of the composition. Very close inspection reveals small tears and creases along the extreme edges and further inspection reveals few media accretions in located places. The work is in very good original condition.
