Ecole Vénitienne du XVIIIe siècle

Les deux tableaux se présentent dans un état de conservation satisfaisant. Ils ont fait l'objet d'un réentoilage dans la première moitié du XXe siècle correctement réalisé.Ils sont sous un vernis légèrement encrassé, qui a besoin d'être nettoyé. On constate de légers manques de matière dans les coins inférieurs droit et gauche du tableau avec un groupe d'élégantes au centre. A la lampe UV : le tableau apparaît sous un vernis vert uniforme. On constate quelques restaurations au centre, dans le ciel ainsi que dans la robe rose du tableau avec des élégantes au centre. Pour le tableau représentant des personnages masqués, il est sous un vernis vert uniforme, on constate quelques reprises dans les fonds. Both paintings are in a rather good overall condition. They have been recanvassed in the first half of the XXth century which did not damaged the medium. They are both under a slightly dirty varnish which need to be cleaned. We can see some lack of painting in the lower right and left corners of the painting with the elegant women in the centre. Under the UV light : the painting appears under a green uniform varnish. We can see in the painting with the elegant in the centre few restorations in the centre in the sky and in the pink dress of one lady. In the painting with the masked characters wed can see few restorations in the centre.
