This work is in very good condition overall. The collaged canvas elements are secure and intact. There are scattered, embedded paint bristles and two embedded staples, inherent to the artist's working method. There is evidence of hairline stable cracking in the green passage in upper left side located approximately 3.5 inches from the left edge and 8 inches from the top edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, certain elements fluoresce but are not the result of restoration and are merely a reflection of the various types of pigments used. Unframed.
