Description

This atmospheric painting captures a quiet early morning moment as a lone figure walks through the streets. The figure is framed by a weathered stone archway and aged buildings. She carries a large basket, possibly on her way to the bakery to fill it with bread. The artist's skilled use of light and shadow draws the viewer's eye to this solitary figure in the foreground, creating a sense of intimacy and intrigue within the urban landscape. Presented in a vintage distressed frame. Signed and dated. On canvas on stretchers.

Condition

There is craquelure to the surface. Some discolouration to the varnish and surface dirt. The frame has been painted at some point, and this paint is flaking in some areas, with marks and scuffs to the frame. This is in keeping with the vintage feel and aesthetic of the piece.

26 x 21cm (10.2" x 8.3")
