Condition
As is visible in the catalogue reproductions, each of the works has some discolored retouches in the sky and elsewhere. However, these are all minor and not disturbing. U.V. reveals aforementioned retouches and a few additional retouches here and there. These images are very charming and the pair may be hung as is. Each in a carved giltwood frame.
This lot will be offered without reserve.
