Condition

STRUCTURE Both of these paintings are in excellent original condition with strong colours and fine detail throughout. The panels are both sound and there are no signs of craquelure on either picture. There are a few minor surface abrasions above the head of the jenny. Both pictures would benefit from a light clean. UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT There are possible minor old infillings to the sky on the painting with the bull. FRAMES The panels are framed in matching moulded plaster frames, with losses to the mouldings.
