Each relined, cleaned and revarnished. Some surface dirt and discoloured varnish now in evidence.

Example featuring the figure on a path: some very minor rubbing/imperfection to outer edges. Retouching to lower left hand corner and some likely general strengthening to the grey of the sky.

Second example: signature possibly with some strengthening, also with some possible mild strengthening to grey of sky. Slight stretcher shadow, more prominantly on the upright horizontal.

Each slightly flattened as a result of the relining process, but broadly in a stable and presentable state of preservation.
