Description

This lot consists of a pair of framed photomechanical reproductions, likely offset lithographs, after celebrated Spanish Old Master paintings. The first print depicts a pastoral dance scene after Francisco de Goya, specifically resembling his work The Dance on the Banks of the Manzanares. The second print is a reproduction of The Surrender of Breda, originally painted by Diego Velázquez circa 1634-35. Both works are printed on paper and housed in simple dark wood-finish frames behind glass. No edition numbers, artist signatures, or publisher marks are visible on either piece.

43cm x 33cm.


Condition report:

Both prints exhibit significant signs of age and wear, including overall toning and fading. The Velázquez reproduction shows pronounced paper buckling throughout the sheet, suggesting past exposure to moisture. The Goya print features a prominent diagonal crease in the upper left quadrant. Both sheets show visible handling creases. The frames exhibit minor surface abrasions and wear to the finish.
