One portrait depicts Baroness Von Kruder, who was originally painted by Joseph Karl Stieler in 1828. Joseph Stieler was an artist for the German court and made many beautiful paintings of the women of the court.

The second portrait depicts Miss Rosamond Hester Elizabeth Croker, also known as Lady Barrow. She was the wife of Sir George Barrow and was originally painted by Sir Thomas Laurence in 1827.

There are no stickers on the back, but these appear to be early Cameo Creations reproductions from the 1940s. Later versions were made in cheaper plastic frames. less
