This pair of vintage paintings depicts a Tatar guard and a Tatar woman, each dressed in traditional attire, rendered with fine attention to detail and historic character. The works are executed in what is likely oil on board and presented in rustic wooden frames with natural wear consistent with age. The first painting shows a guard in a yellow coat and fur-trimmed hat, holding a long staff with a quiver of arrows at his side, standing in a field with a fortress visible in the background. The second portrays a woman in a richly detailed green coat and fur hat, adorned with traditional jewelry, standing before a fortified settlement with a rider on horseback nearby. Both paintings are signed by the artist in script at the lower right and left corners, and the backs are labeled "Tatar Guard" and "Tatar Woman." Each piece is fitted with a hanging wire for display. A striking pair that captures cultural history and period costume, suitable for collectors of ethnographic or regional art. Vintage condition as pictured. Listing is for described items only. Dimensions approximately: 10.25"L, 7.5"W, .75"thick each BoxS16
