Condition Report
All four panels are quite fragile, the surface is bubbling, the paper is torn on the right-hand side, and the old gilt frames are splitting. Stuck down.

The paintings are executed on thick paper which have been mounted onto board. The adhesion is poor and there are numerous air bubbles an undulations. There are small losses to the paper support around the edges. The paintings suffer from differing degrees of wear and loss although overall the paint layers are stable. The paintings all have an uneven varnish coating leading to varying gloss across the surface. The frames have areas of loss to the gilded surface.
