Condition

The board is sound. There are some very small spots of paint loss to the protruding edges of the collage, and some old frame abrasions along the edges. Otherwise the picture is in good overall condition. Under ultraviolet light, there appear to be some small spots of retouching along the left and right edges, which correspond with old frame abrasion. Other pigments fluoresce, but appear to be by the artist's hand. Held in a simple gilt box frame with a canvas matte in good condition.
