Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The shaped canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The colors are vibrant, the media layer is stable, and all collage elements are accounted for and secure. Three very faint diagonal white surface scuffs to the canvas between 2-3 inches in length are present, two in the lower left and one in the lower right quadrants. Minor dust is present on the interior of the collage elements. Under ultraviolet light inspection, fluorescence occurs throughout due to the pigments utilized by the artist.
