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 pictures have been relined and are providing stable support. There is a fine pattern of craquelure to the picture surfaces, with aged, discoloured varnishes. The canvas with the guinea pigs has a very slight surface scratch in the varnish lower centre, and both pictures have some light wear around then edges consistent with frame wear. The examination under UV light is somewhat impeded by the opaque varnish but shows some strengthening, to the darker tones of both works, and to the white rabbit. Overall both pictures present well.
