I have a pair of two coat of arms paintings that I purchased at an estate sale in Atlanta. They look like gouache paintings. They have old writing (painted) on them. I tried to translate the old writing using various apps, but was not successful. One has a two men on them and the men have dark skin, maybe African. The other has a Phoenix or dragon figure, with a shield with a snake. This one also has antique writing painted on it, which I was also not able to translate. They have very nice matching frames with a silk pale green mat.
The frame and the image together measures 8 5/8" wide x 10 5/8" tall. The image with the shield measures (at the bold black line) are 4 1/4 wide x 5 3/4" tall. The image with the men measures (at the bold black line) are 3 5/16" wide x 5 3/4" tall.
