Historical Background

These pieces appear to be vintage etchings, a popular art form where an image is incised into a metal plate, and then the plate is used to create a print on paper. The artist would then sometimes handcolor the print to add a unique touch. The user stated these are watercolor paintings. It is possible the artist used a combination of etching and watercolor to create the final effect, as the style of the art resembles a mix of both. Both prints are signed, one by "Lassu" and the other by "Bauss," suggesting they are original works or reproductions of works by these artists. The style and framing suggest these were created in the mid20th century, likely in the 1960s or 1970s, as souvenirs or decorative art for the home. They capture a classic, romanticized view of Paris that remains highly sought after today.
