Condition

Both canvases have not been lined. Ultra-violet light reveals a thick layer of residual varnish which prevents a clear reading of the painted surface. However, no clear sign of retouching is visible. Both works would benefit from some light surface cleaning. The pictures are overall in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in decorative frames with some losses.
