The process of conservation-restoration carried out has allowed the recovery of the original chromatism and the appreciation of the different and accurate techniques of polychromy used.

We can observe the mate quality of the painting in the temple of the scenes, with the treatment of the different materials like the furniture of wood or the floors of marble finely worked, in contrast to the showy sgraffito about golden of the dresses and the wings of the angels, and finally the carnations in the oil. Only the clouds of rusted silver have lost the original brightness that would still give brightness month to the composition of the reliefs.

The interventions of conservation-restoration of both pieces have been the following ones:

-Fixation of the polychromy of the reliefs and golden frames. 
-Elimination of dirt and of a thick layer of superficial varnish turned yellow that they distorted the chromatism. 
-Elimination of antique interventions of restoration. 
-Pictorial reimbursement of small losses of polychromy.
