Both sheets have been fully laid down on to supportive mounts. There is a small amount of adhesive and some superficial loss to the extreme upper edge, in line with an indelicately applied mount. The sheets have been squared up for framing and mounting, these lines are not visible in the current presentation. There are some areas that have been worked by the Artist, which has resulted in some minor losses to the sheets. There is some very light surface dirt in places, largely to the edges. This excepting the works appear to be in excellent overall condition. The sheets are window mounted and held behind glass in simple wooden frames. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
