This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the metal are irregular, inherent to the artist's chosen media. There is some faint discoloration and oxidation to the silver areas, possibly inherent to the artist's chosen media. There are a few minor abrasion marks, most notably at the lower right corner, along the upper left edge, and at the inner chin of the figure, visible upon close inspection. There are minor scattered scratches, most notably along the red border, visible upon close inspection. There is a very faint pinpoint indentation 3/4 inches above the left shoulder, visible upon close inspection. Under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
