Summary/Abstract: The initial state of the two artworks presented in this paper is questionable regarding their exposure in the context of the opening of the Oriental Art Gallery. In the case of the damages presented by these paintings, we are dealing with two different situations compared to the ones encountered in the Occidental graphic artworks. In the same time they represent two particular cases because these degradations are the product of countless inadequate interventions during a long period of time. All these damages are the proof of some old interventions on the materials that make up the artistic object. All these deteriorations have appeared prior to the entrance of the artworks in the patrimony of the National Art Museum. Even though at the moment they are in a balanced state due to careful conservation, aesthetically speaking their display is not possible in this condition. The purpose of this paper is to present the typologies of the two artworks and the technical characteristics based on the mounting technique, the initial materials and the adaptations of the restorations treatment to each of them.
