(i) A BATELEUR EAGLE
The sheet is not laid down. There is a small horizontal scuff to the sheet mainly to the extreme edge of the tail feathers and tree branch. This is visible in the catalogue illustration. There is some slight discoloration to the sheet notably to the background and edges. There is some scuffing to the edges, however, this is not visible when the work is in the frame. There is what appears to be a slight waterstain to the sheet just below the signature. The colours remain strong. In very good condition. (Please see additional image showing inscriptions on the reverse of the sheet.)

(ii) A RED-BILLED CHOUGH
The sheet is not laid down. There is some slight discoloration to the sheet, however, the colours remain strong. In very good condition.
