07/06/26: In my opinion regarding LOT: 1057- please note that I am not an expert such works so have taken numerous images for your review, as described the pieces were not examined out of the mat, The Party is on paper as described, I do not know how or if it is affixed to the backing, it is wavy or with raised wrinkling within the mat, a UV light examination reveals a possible glued tear at waist of the central figure, see image, I further note some light spots, variation and imperfections, Horse Race is apparently unsigned, again we did not examine out of mat, at both the left near mat edge and through the body of the jokey in the foreground, there is light vertical wrinkle from top to bottom, possibly the canvas was folded?, see image, a UV exam reveals a few small blemishes/losses? at both lower corners, the upper right corner may have a small stabilized tear, colors remain vibrant in my opinion, please see numerous high resolution images provided for your review
