A beautiful pair of tondo oil landscape paintings on board by John Bell (English, 1811-1895), of "Knaresborough Castle, Yorkshire", signed and dated lower left "J Bell 1851" and "Bootburn Bridge, Herts", signed and dated indistinctly lower right.

Bootburn Bridge, Herts shows a tranquil landscape with water a prominent tree stands near the centre or slightly to one side, acting as a focal point.
Both paintings are inscribed on the backboards verso:
