[QUOTE="Fid, post: 3885387, member: 7724"]from the style and subject they are consistent with your time frame - perhaps even a bit earlier and later. during the fin de siècle era there were many non-academic artists that showed the peaceful countrylife after the harsh Franco-Prussian war. many were using a style that looks a bit [SIZE=4]naïf today.[/SIZE] the landscape is French, could well be in the North with its windmill; the often found round tower on the second one is a very typical French "pigeonnier" or "colombier" that was for the pigeons and showed that the farm or its possessor were of good standing because there was a regal tax for pigeons in the past. all in all you should ideally find someone near you that has at least a basic knowledge about France or even knows French for further research. good luck.
