"Two figures" is in generally good condition. The sheet is toned and uneven and there is an acid mat. There is rippling and handling creases throughout, especially in the upper and lower right corners. Not examined out of the frame. "Isidora pastoralizante" is a double sided work with an acid mat. The sheet has surface dirt, especially in the lower quadrant. There is a horizontal crease across the center of the work, perhaps from a previous folding, and a few minor tears along the lower left and right edges and along the bottom edge. There are what appear to be glue remnants on the figure's knee. The recto is in generally good condition with a pen drawing and a strip of tape residue across the lower edge. Not examined out of the frame.
