Condition

On the first painting (p.84), very small losses appear in the upper left corner, on the upper right corner and on the lower left corner. A minor painting loss appears on the lower part by the frame. On the second painting (p.85), a small tear appears in the sky in the upper right, between the trees : it is visible in the catalogue. Under UV light, two or three scratches are visible in the sky. Both paintings would benefit from a light cleaning. The paper swells out just a little since it has not been laid-down on the canvas in full, in our opinion.
