Condition Report*: Overall very good condition. Bottom half of sheet with gold leaf has slight scattered losses, revealing a red pigment underneath. The overall image bears some slight lifting off its mount, which results in some minor undulations to the edges. Some areas of the collage are pieced together by either a red brocade thread or a staple. Framed measuring 48 x 46 inches. Not examined out of frame due to size and due to fragility of the piece.
