This work is in very good condition overall. Evidence of minor handling wear is observed around corners and edges of the canvas. Visible only upon close inspection, evidence of hairline craquelures are observed to be scattered over thickly painted areas, primarily on the figure's body which is intrinsic to artist's chosen medium and method of execution. A very minor tear of collage medium is observed, located approximately 50 cm from the left and 15 cm from the bottom edge of work, elements remain stable. No evidence of retouching observed when examined under ultraviolet light. Framed.
