Condition

These works are in excellent condition overall. Each sheet is hinged intermittently along the reverse to the backing board. Each sheet undulates slightly, visible upon close inspection. There is minor fading to each sheet. There is a minor charcoal line accretion to the center of the right sheet of the right element, possibly inherent to the artist's working method. Framed under glass.
