Two watercolors on paper by James Reynolds: Connought, of a man and a women bundled against the cold, standing on the broad steppe (15"x19½"); and Gilgit, showing a man in fur vest with a metal helmet, standing before what might be snow-covered peaks (16"x16").

Striking pair of watercolors by the noted artist, born in 1896, who is probably most famous for his paintings of the American West. The two undoubtedly were used to illustrate the same book, as yet unidentified, and both depict persons with Mongolian features, in a socialist primitive style with touches of art deco, reminiscent of Soviet art of the period. The signature and title on the second are under the mat.
