Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are vibrant, and the media layer including the collage element is stable. Two minor surface losses to the sheet are present at the extreme lower right corner, measuring 1/4 and 1/2 inches in length. Minor wear is present at the extreme corners of the board. The sheet is very lightly soiled and presents isolated areas of abrasion to the sheet overall, which are consistent with the artist's intent and working method.
