Condition
The two square panels are flat and even.
There are some small spots of paint flaking primarily in the background and framing edges of the two works.
The old varnish has degraded and yellowed, and the paintings could benefit from cleaning and revarnishing. The varnish fluoresces opaquely under UV light, however no notable signs of retouching are visible.
Each presented in a square decorative frame within an inner circle around the painted composition.
