Pair of paintings, still lifes of fruits and flowers.

A lovely pair of paintings depicting two compositions of still lifes with fruits and flowers. The works feature very decorative rural compositions: red fruits, plums, foliage, and flowers arranged around large ceramic containers. The paintings are presented under glass in beautiful round (tondo) gilded wooden frames. The two compositions showcase baskets/vases filled with fruits, foliage, and flowers in a warm palette of greens, pinks, reds, whites, and browns. The paintings are protected by beautiful convex glass, which enhances the relief and charm of the whole. The works are signed at the bottom right, with the signature yet to be identified. The set is likely dateable to the mid-20th century.
