Condition
These works are mounted and framed behind glass. The surface of the works are irregular particularly in the areas that have been tea-stained. There are small orange stains and slight creasing visible in the gold leaf of the woman pointing that are possibly inherent and there is slight lifting and significant creasing of the silver leaf in the man lounging due to the fragile nature of the medium. These works are in good overall condition, as viewed.
