Condition report:

Smaller watercolour
Surface dirt throughout. Signs of foxing in both of the upper quadrants. Signs of wear in the top left quadrant that has resulted in the top layer of paper being worn out removing any pigments once present. The paper is not flat and has warped causing undulations across its surface.

Larger watercolour
Surface dirt throughout. Some signs of yellowing and discolouration, particularly in the upper quadrants in areas of the sky. Some visible signs of dirt under the glass.
