Condition

Very good quality.  As viewed under UV light in the unopened frame:  both are lined; both had their canvases previously folded [probably to make them fit into smaller fames]; both in 20th c. frames; one having c. 8% overpainting in the bottom third and UL and overall fine craquelure with instability; the 'white' along the edges fluoresces; one having a white spot in the sky in the UR; other one has c. 10% overpainting in the bottom quarter of the painting with the overpainting in the cracks having turned white, has unstable craquelure, paint is slightly skinned, 2 white spots on the right and has a patch in the LL.  The signature in "Rachel at the Well" does not fluoresce under UV light.
