Pair of 18th Century Allegory Oil Paintings on Canvas

Pair of antique oil paintings on canvas depicting allegories, dating back to the 18th century. Coming from France. The first painting depicts a suggestive Allegory of Abundance, an iconographic subject much appreciated in European painting between the 17th and 18th centuries. The scene presents a female figure in a classic pose, elegantly dressed, while holding a rich cornucopia filled with fruits and grapes, a traditional symbol of prosperity, fertility and wealth. The second painting depicts a fascinating female figure in classical dress, sitting in a landscape and accompanied by a refined exotic parrot. The scene recalls European decorative painting of the eighteenth-century style, where the figure of the lady was often represented as a symbol of beauty, grace and prestige. Both works are in good condition, with signs of aging consistent with their era. The canvases are mounted on antique frames.
