Pair of Miniature Autumn Landscape Paintings on Canvas

This item consists of a pair of miniature landscape paintings, likely executed in oil or acrylic on canvas. Both paintings depict autumnal scenes with trees showcasing vibrant fall foliage in shades of yellow, orange, and reddish-brown, set against a backdrop of rolling hills or mountains with a pale, possibly overcast, sky. The overall color palette is soft and somewhat muted, typical of an overcast autumn day. Each painting is presented on a stretched canvas, appearing to be miniature self-contained works rather than framed pieces. Based on the size comparison with the Sharpie marker in the image, each painting is relatively small, likely in the range of 5x7 inches to 8x10 inches, suggesting they are easel-sized artworks or decorative wall hangings. The brushstrokes appear visible, indicating a painterly style. No extreme damage, tears, or significant discoloration is immediately apparent from the provided image. The edges of the canvases seem to be wrapped around wooden stretcher bars, typical for this medium. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or dates discernible in the image. Given their style and presentation, they could date from the mid-20th century to contemporary, possibly mass-produced decorative art or student works, though the quality of the brushwork and color harmony suggests a level of artistic intent beyond simple mass production. The similar style and subject matter suggest they were created as a pair or by the same artist.
