Condition
There appears to be a minor surface loss, visible upon close inspection, within the upper left-hand corner of the portrait a female with a blue background. There is minor splintering to the carved wood throughout all 12 portraits, as is consistent with the nature of the material. The work appears to be in very good original condition.
