Condition
All four sheets are pastel on paper laid down on canvas. All four images retain strong and fresh coloration, however there is pin point dotting of white where the pastel has lifted from the surface. This is most evident in "Girl Holding a Hare", and in the lower-left portion of "Lady Holding Flowers". Slight rubbing along the edges in each of the pictures.
