Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable.

Further extremely close inspection reveals stretcher bar marks towards the upper horizontal edge and across the centre. Very close inspection reveals a canvas draw to the upper right corner, with an associated indentation and protrusion. Further very close inspection reveals a few small indentations, most notably towards the lower right corner, and some handling marks, rub marks, and splash media accretions in isolated places throughout. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
