Condition report:

Framed 40 x 65cm

Both paintings are executed in oil on a canvas support which have been lined. The canvas tension is good and the pictures are generally in plane with a few minor surface lumps. The paint layers on both works are in a good condition with some minor wrinkling. Overpaint is minimal and well matched to the original. The varnish layers are even, semi-matte and slightly yellowed with a few sly pots and accretions present.
