This lot comprises a pair of two framed decorative prints including a Vincent van Gogh Iris and a Rembrandt style portrait. The primary item is a large-format reproduction of the portrait The Man with the Golden Helmet, depicting an elderly man in profile wearing an ornate embossed helmet. The print is housed in a wide gilt-composition frame decorated with high-relief foliate, shell, and floral motifs. The second item is a reproduction of the Vincent van Gogh composition Iris, set within a gold-toned arched frame featuring rose-patterned mouldings at the crest and base. This piece remains in its original black retail box with a printed paper band reading 11 X 14 INCHES (28 X 36 CM), Iris, and Vincent van Gogh. The band also contains a biographical blurb stating that Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist whose fame grew after his tragic death. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible on the larger portrait or its frame.
