J. Planer, Two Landscape Scenes two paintings depicting landscape scenes: one shows a figure crossing a bridge over a small river at dusk, with the local village in the background; the second painting depicts a wintry evening scene bathed in the glow of the sunset, and in front of the farm cottages of the local settlement, a local woman leads a dog - suggested with just a few brushstrokes - on a lead across the frozen country lane, oil on oak panel, c. 1900, each signed ‘J. Planer’ in the lower right and lower left corners respectively, with the location indicated in lead on the reverse; in the case of the winter landscape, ‘Holland Dorf im Winter’ and for the river landscape, ‘Partie aus Westfalen’, slight scuffing around the edges caused by framing; each in a contemporary gold-stucco frame of the period, both in need of some restoration; inner dimensions 21 x 26.5 cm each.
