Pair of Signed Antique French Oil Paintings with Gilded Frames

This pair of antique French oil paintings captures the gentle rhythm of 19th-century rural life. One scene features a forest stream with golden light filtering through the trees, signed “E.P.” The other shows a shepherd guiding a flock home at sunset, signed “F. Paulet.” Each painting is beautifully framed in an elaborate gilt frame with rich texture and classical flourishes. There are no visible tears or damage to the canvas or paint layer. Frames show minor wear consistent with age but remain structurally sound. Sold as a set.
