Condition:

Both panels appear to be made of one board, and they are both flat, stable, and uncradled. The panel with the bowl if plums is beveled on all four edges, while the other is beveled on the proper left and lower edges. Both images read strongly beneath a clean and crisp varnish. There are two horizontal cracks in the panel with a bowl of plums, but these are not distracting. Inspection under UV reveals more recent scattered small spots and fine strokes of retouching, concentrated in the backgrounds and tables of each work and primarily close to the edges. More retouching is visible in the panel with a bowl of plums than the other. In both works, though, there are only a few very small and cosmetic spots and strokes of retouching to the still life elements, for example, in the leaf at upper center of panel with bowl of plums. The paintings can be hung as is. Offered in simply carved darkwood frames
