This is an antique oval frame bubble glass measures 22 x 16 the pictures measure 14 x 20" the frame thickness is 1 inch there are nine sections connected to make this frame writting on the back of the board stated the young man was born in 1886 and died in 1918. One appears to be photographed the other appears to be pastel. The photograph was behind the artwork. Now looking for a frame the same size to put the other picture in. Was trying to figure out what type of photograph they would call this, The boy is this an early hand colored photograph ??
They are both photographs. They were enlarged at some point and artist enhanced due to the loss of details during the enlargement process.
These are very typical of the late 19th- early 20th century. These are often called crayon or charcoal portraits by collectors.
