- a pair, both oil on canvas

Condition
Both paintings are a bit more brown-reddish in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests.
Both canvases are relined and have a distinctive crease running at the bottom. Stretcher marks are visible to the front.
With both canvases, the paint layer has been flattened and abraded in some of the foliage. The paint has a tendency towards flaking in the left part of the rocks of the second painting. Both paintings show a dense and coarse craquelure pattern. The second painting has a retouched strip running along the left side. Both have paint losses along the crease. Both paintings are very dirty and covered with surface dirt and have an oily and discoloured varnish layer. Both paintings need to be cleaned and restored.
Inspection under UV-light reveals extensive retouchings along both creases, several larger and scattered spots in the sky and throughout the landscape and retouchings along the edges in both paintings.
Offered in gilt frames, with damages. (JD)
