Condition
The work on masonite is in very good condition. There is a one-inch vertical scratch in the top right corner, though possibly from the artist's studio as it does not seem to penetrate to the board.
The work on card is also in very good condition. There is a 4" diagonal crease in the upper right quadrant, from the right edge moving towards the top centre. Both could benefit from a light cleaning.
