Pair of Mid-Century Maritime Oil Paintings

This is a matching pair of small-scale maritime oil paintings on canvas, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. Each artwork depicts a serene nautical scene: one featuring a prominent two-masted fishing vessel with white sails reflected in the water, and the other showing a group of boats moored near a coastal structure or docks under a soft, hazy sky. The color palette across both pieces is consistent, utilizing muted blues, greys, and yellows to suggest a misty or early morning light. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, characteristic of decorative commercial art from the 1960s or 70s. Both paintings are housed in ornate, multi-tiered rectangular frames. The frames feature a white painted outer molding and a gold-toned inner 'linen' style liner or slip with a beaded edge detail. While no signature is immediately visible at this angle, these are typical of 'starving artist' show pieces or mass-produced decorative studio art of that era. The condition appears fair to good; there is some light visible dust and potential minor abrasions to the frames, particularly on the white painted surfaces. The canvases appear taut with no obvious punctures or significant paint loss. The items are shown perched on modern folding chairs, suggesting a local auction or estate sale environment.
