Condition
The works are in good condition overall. The "Two Balinese Ladies" shows evidence of gentle networks of craquelures throughout the surface but the paint layers are healthy. Examination under ultraviolet light shows restoration beneath the temple structure. Framed. The "Jungle Village Scene" shows evidence of light wear and handling around the borders of the board, but it is free of warping and cracks. Upon close observation reveals scattered dirt and media accretion accumulated on the surface of the work. Any inconsistency is due to the artist's working method. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no sign of restoration. Framed.
