Condition
The elements of the collage are stable and the sheet is cream wove paper, not laid down and hinged to the backing board in two places along the upper edge. The architectural and drapery studies have foxing throughout and some minor losses to the extreme edges. The sheet is time stained and has further evidence of foxing and skinning, predominately in the lower part of the composition. There is skinning and some nicks to all four edges and a repaired tear towards the right of the upper edge, all of which are not visible when framed. Overall this work is in fair condition.
