Oil on small tabletop, showing a classic old master 17th or 18th century French scene but executed most likely in the late 19th century, 13 1/2" by 23 3/4" and rather heavy for its size, at six pounds.

This includes light abrasions, soiling, craquelure, and old darkened, fully oxidized digs where the pain...

Unframed, and with some small faults common to older paintings, including light soiling, a few minor losses, edge losses etc.

A charming antique watercolor in monochromatic gray tones, the sheet 8 1/4" by 13 1/2", mounted to a blue-gray card 11" by 16" with hand drawn mat lines. There is no signature.
