The works have been framed under glass and have not been removed for inspection. One painting shows an extensive stain most of the way down the right hand side, with further staining across the bottom edge. The same work shows several dead insects beneath the glass. The vertical picture shows a tear to the top left corner, a stain under a dead insect and a further white mark to the paper. The other works show some minor stains and slight discolouration, some dead insects below the glass and the odd small area of insect damage, and some age-related darkening.
