Condition
Colour:
The colour of each work is lighter than in the catalogue illustration.
Condition:
These works are in very good condition overall. The edges of each sheet are deckled and there is a slight undulation to each sheet, inherent to artist's working method. Under close inspection, some faint creases are visible throughout. Each sheet is hinged intermittently along the edges to the mat. Framed under Plexiglas.
i. Ada: A few pinpoint and unobtrusive brown spot accretions, notably in figure's hair at bottom right and in upper left corner are visible.
ii. Eileen: There is a black media accretion visible at the upper left corner.
