Ils sont sous des vernis anciens qui ont besoin d'être allégés. A la lampe UV : sous un vernis vert uniforme; pas de restauration à signaler. To the naked eye : both paintings are in quite good overall condition if we avoid the scratches and lacks of paintings very visible on the photograph. They are under old varnish which needs to be cleaned. Under the UV light : they are under a green uniform varnish, no restoration to be signaled.
