A l'oeil nu, les tableaux apparaissent dans un bel état de conservation. Ils ont fait l'objet d'un réentoilage il y a environ cinquante ans. Très bien réalisé. On remarque un réseau de craquelures un peu prnoncé mais qui ne gène pas la lecture, les tableaux sont sous un vernis un peu brillant même si celui-ci n'est pas récent. A la lampe UV : vernis vert épais uniformes. Quelques craquelures sont reprises. To the naked eyes, the paintings are in a very beautiful condition. They have been relined around 50 years ago, in a very good way. We can see a network of cracks a bit deep but nothing to disturb the general aspect of the works. Both are under a varnish a bit bright even if not recent one. Under the UV light : green even varnish. Few slight restorations on the cracks.
