Both works are discoloured. Woman - there is a missing area of paper along the top, approximately an inch long. Light staining in the woman's chest and in the space between her knee and the donkey's head. There are areas of wear to the paint layer - in the donkey's rear hoof and in the bottom right quadrant, where there is visible cracking. The picture is a bit loose in its frame and does not fit it properly. Man - is generally in better condition. Few foxing spots around the donkey's legs. Not examined out of frame.
