Description
These were purchased back in the early 2000's from an estate sale in Alberta, CD. Prior to purchasing these the seller stated that they had been in his family for as long as he could remember.
I am wanting to know the value and if they are prints or originals. The backs are sealed. I have come across similar works of the Brave, however nothing identical and no findings on the mother and child. Both are signed. No numbers that I can see. Difficult to get a good picture do the protective coverings, not glass, and have no sheen. Both measure 24 x30 ".
Thank you
