Pair of Italian Oil Paintings

This pair of Italian oil paintings was realized in the first years of the XX century by an Italian artist of the XX century.

Original oil on canvas. A signature is present on the lower right corner but it is hard to read.

Lacquered frames are included. Both works are in very good conditions.

Beautiful pair of oil paintings with Italian subjects representing outdoor scenes. The first canvas represents several elegantly dressed ladies with elaborate hairstyles. On the background, the famous Rialto Bridge of Venice and a small gondola on the right, on the surface of the water. The figures wear masks: the Venetian carnival is a sumptuous and romantic event and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The second painting depicts a huge colorful wood carriage decked out in a natural landscape: a lady is about to get off the carriage. In the background, a countryside landscape and trees with rich green foliage.
