Condition

The effective relining has not overly flattened the paint surface which is secure. Some areas display slight abrasion, for example centre left. The varnish has yellowed slightly. Strenghtenings which have discoloured are visible along the craquelure whilst others flouresce under UV light. The paintings would benefit from a light clean. Offered in a wood and plaster frame with some knocks.
