Pair of portraits painted in Amsterdam in 1893 by C. Smith. Oil on canvas, laid down & cleaned. Signed & dated. A bearded man in solemn, period attire & a woman in elegant, solemn dress with ruffled collar & gold drop earrings. Apparently original frames - oak with guilloche inner border. From a mid-west collection. Clearly a talented artist although unknown. Panel: 25" x 19.5".
