These are a pair of identically framed hand-painted images, each of a variation of a somber bearded man in a top hat. The artist has used several types of mediums - including layered acrylic and crayon. There is quite a depth of tonality in each piece. The medium is applied to paper, and this inked paper is affixed to a stretched canvas background. Signature and title are difficult to discern, but "Paris '62" appears to be written in the lower right corner. The pieces are framed in black wood frames, and have wires to hang by in the back. Good vintage condition - The portrait with the blue background has a 2-inch "C" shape tear but the piece remains stiff and in place. Please see our photos for additional details. Dimensions: Frame size: 25" tall x 9-1/4" wide, Art size: 19.5" tall x 4.5" wide
