All four works have a recent relining to their canvases. The paint surfaces of the four works are secure and there is no visible sign of retouching. The white highlights have discoloured slightly in some places. Inspection under ultraviolet lights reveals very few scattered retouchings present in all four works, as well as an even varnish. The four works are overall in good condition. The works are offered in molded gilt frames with a few knocks.
