Lot 579: A Pair of Frank Thomas Carter Oil on Canvas Wooded River Landscapes each 84x71cm

A matching pair of nineteenth-century oil on canvas paintings by Frank Thomas Carter (1853–1934). The works depict tranquil wooded river scenes at dusk or dawn, rendered in a naturalistic style with a palette of soft pinks, oranges, and muted browns. The compositions feature detailed botanical elements including bare winter birch trees and ivy-clad trunks set against frost-dusted riverbanks and reflective water. The right-hand painting is signed in the lower left corner in red-orange pigment Frank T. Carter. The left-hand painting is signed in the lower right corner in dark pigment F. T. Carter. Both paintings are housed in their original ornate nineteenth-century gilt composition frames featuring scrolling foliate, shell, and floral motifs.
