A pair of blackamoors (male and female)
GE-C comments:
"These are classic nineteenth century images, called the Watercarriers, or the Blackamoor Watercarriers. They were slaves captured by Arabs for work in the north of Africa. These models are Austrian. Throughout Europe, blackamoors seemed exotic."
