This fabulous and colorful match framed set was produced by Dr. Arthur Jewell of Buffalo, New York sometime in the 1950's. Each painting is signed on the front and his name and address are written on the back. The paintings are masterfully done in brilliant colors and depict an Indian Chief and his squaw. Dr. Jewell graduated with a BA in art from Syracuse University in 1952. For the next 42 years, he was the instructor for Guilderland School District. He passed away in 2016 but is well remembered by three generations of art students in that area. Both of these paintings are magnificently framed in the gold guilt gesso 19th century style. Gesso is very fragile and there are a couple areas of minor damage to the frames, but it is minor and gesso is easily repaired. This would be a stunning set of paintings for your Western themed office of den.
Condition: (Very Good).
