Condition

Palash: There is very minute craquelere to areas of thicker pigment such as the waist of the woman. Village Path: Minimal wear and paint loss in the upper left and right corners. In addition there is a loss to the paper in the lower right corner of Palash. Buckling is inherent to the medium of paper in both works. Slight losses to the paper surface from tape adhesion and removal are present on the reverse. These are not visible and hidden by the mount in both works.
