Condition
Les tableaux sont dans un état de conservation moyennement satisfaisant du fait des accicents sur l'un d'entre eux (celui de l'eau). Les tableaux sont sur leurs toiles et châssis d'origine. Il est sous un vernis ancien, très sale. L'allégorie de l'eau a des manques, des trous dans la partie basse à droite. On voit des pièces de toile à l'arrière restaurant d'anciens petits accidents.
A la lampe UV : Le tableau est sous un vernis vert uniforme, quelques reprises au niveau des empiècements de toile et des restaurations de petits trous dans les fonds.
Both paintings are in reasonnably good condition but one (allegory of water) is a bit damaged by an accident at the lower right of its composition. Both are on their original canvas and chassis. Both are under a very old and dirty varnish. We see few pieces of canvas at their back to restore old small accidents.
Under the UV light : the painting is under a green uniform varnish. we can see few retouches around the pieces of canvas added at the back and also few retouches to restore some tiny holes in the background.
