Condition
The sculpture is in very good condition considering the fragility of the composition and material. The plaster that has been applied to some of the cotton shirts is cracking and loose in numerous areas. The side closest to the metal rods presented the most cracking. The shirts appear worn and soiled with several tears, which is the intended aesthetic. The shirts are imperfectly folded and stacked and pierced by two steel rods. The top shirt appears the most soiled on both the cloth and on the plaster that fills the collar. Small pieces of friable plaster can be seen in the folds of the stacked shirts.
