UV light reveals retouching in several places to The Fruit Seller, including to the face of the sitter, to the central section, to the upper and lower edges and lower left corner and in small patches elsewhere. UV light reveals retouching to the subject's right hand in The Fisherman and a few flecks to the top left corner of the background. Unframed.
