The work is in good condition overall, as are the canvases, which are clear and taut. There is light wear and handling around the edges of the work, but visible only upon close observation. Examination under ultraviolet light shows no sign of restoration. Both are unframed, on Stretchers.

In Exposed, Rolando (Olan) Ventura re-imagines the mysterious smile, the folded arms and the sweet androgynous ambiguity of the Mona Lisa. The current Lot is a portrait of a portrait. The artist renders the iconography in black and white and then flips the image to a negative. The uncanny stare of the Mona Lisa lives on, but the depiction is one that is witty, fresh and contemporary.
