Hello, this item is a pair of oil on canvas harbor scene paintings attributed to Rajmund Rau (Polish, 1878–1944). Executed in a muted palette of grays, browns, and ochres, the compositions depict bustling quay-side markets with figures in period attire engaged in trade and transport. The backgrounds include detailed renderings of masts, smokestacks, and waterfront architecture. Both paintings are signed “Rajmund Rau” and housed in elaborately carved wooden frames, although the frames show signs of chipping while the canvases themselves are reportedly in good condition.

Rajmund Rau, though not broadly recognized in international scholarship, produced works aligned with early 20th-century realist traditions, particularly in maritime and urban subject matter. While not a major auction name, his works can attract collectors interested in Polish or Eastern European realism, especially when paired as a diptych like this. Given their size, craftsmanship, and period framing, the estimated fair market value for the pair would range between $1,000 and $2,000 USD.
