What does this mean?

These are a pair of original paintings from Paris that are street art or sidewalk vendor works sold to tourists. The pair are depictions of 'drunks on a lamp post' which was a popular theme in the 20th century. The images here are too dark to discern the signature on each, though they were likely done by an unlisted 'starving artist.' The overall aesthetic is quintessential Mid Century Mod kitsch. These are intended more as decorative wall art than art for investment purposes. The estimate is for the pair together and is based on actual recent past auction sales of comparables.
