Condition with Previous Interventions/Restoration
Examination on a light table reveals that significant portions of the border have been added in order to make the piece visually cohesive. Printed black writing on the reverse right side is illegible, and has been partially removed. The border was expertly painted with airbrush, as has the title, the black, Clara's wrist and chest, and a small area of her cheek. There are deep masking cuts around the lettering. Other restorative efforts appear throughout the poster have been done with colored pencil.
