Condition report: GN351 stencil. Oil on canvas with have been lined. The canvas tension is stiff and the pictures are in plane. The texture of the canvas is more apparent in the paint surface due to lining. There are a few localised cracks on both paintings which are slightly raised. There is retouching on both works across the surface, covering abrasion and drying cracks. The varnish is slightly yellowed but even and semi-glossy. The frames are in a good condition.
