The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Both canvases have been relined and maintain a reasonable tension. However there are areas of bubbling/lifting paint in both pictures: in the canvas with the blue parrot these areas can be seen upper left, upper centre and lower left. In the other, upper centre in the tree. These small areas would need to be addressed to prevent future paint loss. The canvases present well overall otherwise, with the paint surface well preserved. The examination under UV light shows a few scattered spots of retouching across both pictures.
