Description: This is a pair of early 20th-century European harbor scene paintings attributed to Polish painter Rajmund Rau. Each work depicts a bustling fish market along a wharf or quay, featuring men and women in traditional working attire carrying baskets, wooden crates, and jugs. Fishing vessels and smokestacks appear in the background, with fine detail in ship rigging and atmospheric waterfront light. The palette consists of muted earth tones and grays, with selective highlights in clothing. Both paintings are signed “Rajmund Rau” in the lower left and right, and housed in ornate carved wooden frames. The scenes appear to form a visual and thematic pair and may be considered a diptych.
