Condition

The two works are in good condition. A: There are very minor scattered paint losses across the surface of the painting that reveal the canvas underneath, consistent with the natural aging process of the medium. B: There are very minor scattered paint losses across the surface of the painting that reveal the canvas underneath, consistent with the natural aging process of the medium. There is evidence of a minor diagonal white accretion in the lower right part of the work and thin bulges across the canvas, presumably inherent to the artistÂ’s mounting method. There is no evidence of restoration under UV.
