“137 FM” black stencil stamped number to the verso of each; an old auction number; in matching old plaster-gilt frames with small losses in areas; the panels covered with old canvas verso; slight frame abrasions at the edges; both have age dirt to the surface and yellowed varnish - they are outdoor scenes with lush greenery and nice blue skies.

Each wood panel is about 1/4” thick, each panel is covered and reinforced with old canvas at the back; each panel has a stencil number stamped on top of the old canvas verso; each panel is warped and bulging outward toward the viewer in the centre (each panel rises about 1/4”in the centre of each panel when laying flat on a table when each panel is unframed. They are fitted in matching frames.

Ultraviolet light examination: each panel is under old varnish; there is no overpainting present under ultraviolet light. Both panels could benefit from a cleaning. Surface dirt commensurate with age.
