Fancy,, reason I said it was cut down,, look at the edges of the canvas,,not even around the stretcher !! Almost took off too much from the side to lap over the stretcher frame !! And if you look at the edge of the canvas it looks like it was cut with a pair of dull scissors !! Professional frame shop would have done better work, even in 1800`s !! Might be a starving artist type painting but even so,, it would have been signed because that was their only advertisment !! Wouldn`t get other customers if no one knew who painted it !!
As far as value,, without knowing the artist,,it is whatever you can get !! I might take both paintings to an art historian first and see if they recognize the style/artist !! Most museums should have one knowledgable person !!
