Condition

The supports consist of single stable flat panels, with canvas applied to the reverse. The paint surfaces are dirty and under a very discoloured varnish, but appear to be secure, with a pronounced craquelure running throughout. No major damages are discernible to the naked eye. The varnish impedes a proper inspection under UV light but the panels appear sound. The paintings would benefit from a clean. Offered in later wood and plaster frames with some losses.
