Condition
Both framed and nicely mounted. The Snipe are in excellent condition, the paper clear and the watercolour fresh. The Quail are also in good condition- the paper is clear, apart from a small light grey watercolour splash stain at the lower right corner and some very minor spots near the upper left. There are two tiny pin-prick holes near the lower left corner. All of these are barely noticeable and the watercolour is still very fresh.
