Two paintings by an unknown author

[artbog]

Hello, I represent to your attention two paintings on canvas, dimensions 48h63 number 1, № 2 68h84.
an unknown author.
In my estimation the pictures years 100-150.

What can I say about them?
and roughly how much they cost?

Thanks in advance.

Clarification is likely to more than 150 years of paintings.

Are the pictures of any value?

Dear artbog, on the second picture : the iconography I, unfortunately , not strong , but let's speculate.
1) depicted a kind of Early Christian saint. 2) Most likely - holy is blind. 3) At the feet - Palm . 4) in his hand - a lighted lamp. Output ( with a certain probability ) depicts the martyr St. Lucie Syracuse ...
However , the picture is missing some attributes that traditionally accompany the classic type of image of St. Lucia , but then most likely your dating pictures - line XIX - XX centuries .
Wait, this forum is such titans of thought ! Once one of them noticed your post and correct me , and the answer will be exhaustive. Wait for an answer ... wait for an answer ... wait for an answer ...

Amateur ! Quickly you are holy Lutsiyu calculated !
Indeed , the iconography is not quite traditional. No sword nor eyes.
But , without a doubt, this holy martyr Lucius .
Of course, it is shown , the oil -fed lamp.
By the way, a Catholic feast day in the hundreds of girls are sv.Lyutsii with lighted torches and singing the famous song Santa Lucia <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

The song - it was a joke ?
I did it in the text of the spiritual can not remember. Secular , I would even say , a love song , and Santa Lucia in it - is the name of a fishing village , but now it is - the name of the street, rising from the waterfront Bay of Naples , right from Castel d'Ovo.

Venite all'agile barchetta mia,
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!
Venite all'agile barchetta mia,
Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

Huh?
Elvis even sang the song .

Plate with the eyes, for example.

Uh-huh. Who is it just did not sing ! There was not a sensible tenor , who would be " SL " not singing . And Lanza sang, and Caruso - sang, and Giuseppe di Stefano - he sang , and I adored Luciano Pavarotti - sang, and did not even really my favorite Bocelli - also sang. (Just a bit too sugary . Sugar Siropovich ... but it is - a matter of taste ).
Why are there - Bocelli ?
I really love the Santa Lucia in the bath to sing! Loud ! As used to the whole ZAOr Ivanovo :
"Mare si placida, vento si caro,
Scordar fa i triboli al marinaro,
E va gridando con allegria,
"Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia! "

O dolce Napoli, o suol beato,
Ove sorridere volle il creato,
Tu sei impero dell'armonia,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia "-

so even the saints shall !
(And no there is not religious . I became used to sing psalms in the bath ...)
