Condition
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com , an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
This pair of paintings is basically in very healthy condition. The canvases have both been mounted onto board and the surfaces are stable. The paint layers are more or less clean although the varnish is quite dull. There do not appear to be any restorations. There are a couple of un-restored losses in the upper background of the composition with the parrot in the lower right. Overall however, the condition of both paintings is very good, requiring only a small amount of attention.

Catalogue Note
