Charming pair of finely executed German silhouette (Scherenschnitt) artworks, likely dating from the early 20th century. Each is meticulously cut by hand in black paper and mounted on cream stock, presented in matching giltwood frames under glass. The first, titled “Abendsplinden” (“Evening Scene”), captures a tranquil pastoral moment with figures and animals crossing a bridge beneath spreading trees. The second, “Die Karawane” (“The Caravan”), depicts a traveler on camelback guided through an exotic landscape of palms. Both are signed and titled in pencil in what appears to be the same hand, though the artist remains unidentified. The style, paper, and subject matter suggest German or Austrian origin, circa 1900–1930 — part of the long tradition of Scherenschnitt (“scissor-cut”) decorative arts that flourished in Central Europe. Details: • Medium: Cut black paper on laid paper • Titles: Abendsplinden and Die Karawane • Origin: Germany or Austria • Date: Circa 1900–1930
