Condition
Both panels are flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. Ultra-violet light reveals a thick layer of residual varnish which makes both surfaces quite difficult to read. However, there appear to be no signs of retouching. These works are overall in good condition and are ready to hang.
Both presented in gilt frames.
