Mixed Media Collage Portrait
Although focused on paintings/drawings, this edge-case collage uses hand-applied paint and paper elements on board for a portrait effect. HTS 9701.91.00.00 covers hand-executed collages as similar decorative plaques if primarily painting-based; pure assemblies may shift per notes. Original hand work distinguishes it.
