Provenance:

Thierry Attanasio Antiquites, Saint-Ouen, France, 2017

Framed dimensions 11 x 7 1/2 inches.

The pair appearing in fair and ready to hang condition. Frames are bright and attractive with several scattered glue repairs visible on one example. The paint surface with craquelure. One example with an approximate on inch tear in the paper on the left side near the frame and one at the bottom extending approximately one inch into the scene. Both works appear to have been varnished and have a glossy finish. Examination under UV reveals small areas of touch-up to the nymphs hair in one example and along the tears in the second example. Each apparently signed indistinctly in the lower right corner, concealed partially by frame. Additional images are available upon request.
