Landscape Oil Paintings Appraisal

Pair of Mid-20th Century Landscape Oil Paintings in Olive Green Frames

This item consists of a pair of vintage landscape oil paintings, each depicting a distinct natural scene. Both paintings are housed in matching, wide, flat-profile wooden frames with a uniform matte olive green finish. The frames themselves show minor visible wear, consistent with age, particularly small nicks or scuffs along the edges. The paintings appear to be executed in oil on canvas or board, characterized by visible brushstrokes and a somewhat muted, naturalistic color palette dominated by greens, browns, and ochres, suggesting an autumnal or late summer setting. The painting on the left features a prominent mountain range in the background with varied autumnal trees and a flowing stream or river in the foreground. The painting on the right shows a more densely wooded area with tall, slender birch-like trees in the foreground, and distant mountains or hills, also with a stream or path winding through. The craftsmanship appears competent, with a focus on capturing the natural light and atmosphere of the landscapes. Given the style, framing, and observable characteristics, these paintings likely date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s. There are no immediately discernible artist signatures or maker's marks visible in the provided images, which would be crucial for further identification. The condition appears good overall for their age, with no obvious major damage like tears or significant paint loss, though a professional cleaning might reveal more vibrant colors.
