Attributed to Marie-Victoire Lemoine

Both of these canvases have been relined and are in similarly favorable condition. In both works the flowers are slightly abraded, with a couple of selective and very small retouches in the hair, background and chest. These small brushstrokes appear to the naked eye as tiny darker brushstrokes, and are not overly disturbing to the naked eye, and there are only a very tiny amount. Both are in oval carved gilt wood frames.
