Pair Miniature Landscape R.G. Harris Oil Paintings

Fine Art : Paintings : Oil : Landscapes

 

We purchased these two small oil paintings together and are selling them as a pair. They were painted by the same artist, R.G. Harris, and are in identical vintage frames that measure 4 3/4" by 4 1/4" with an opening of 2 3/4" by 2 1/4". The painting with the pathway leading through a forest with the brilliant yellow, red, and green colors of birch and maple trees in the early fall, is signed RGH in the lower right. The other, looking down from a rocky shoreline onto the water, has the similar tones of autumn landscapes in Ontario and is signed on the back “Indian River by R.G. Harris”. We have not been able to trace the artist and as the paintings were purchased at a local estate, are assuming they are likely Canadian from around 1940. There are Indian Rivers in the Kawartha Lakes / Peterborough Region, the Muskokas, Lanark County, as well as in Renfrew County in Ontario and these wonderfully detailed works could have been painted in any one of these scenic locations. The paintings are in excellent condition with only minor wear to the original frames which does not detract.
