Sheet with subtle rippling. Duck Hunter with minor mat burn and a tiny bit of staining at the edges of the white gouache that defines the man's profile and the top of his cap. The Farm Study shows what may be some staining and foxing at the lower center edge, as well as some scattered brown dots that appear to be watercolor original to the work. The Farm Study is unfinished, showing the artist's charcoal underdrawing.
