Early 20th Century Oil - Outskirts of the Coastal Town

Description

A fine oil study depicting a distant Italian coastal town. To the foreground, a farming family rest with their cattle and sheep by a stream. The trees, landscape and small figures are all indicative of a classic early 19th-century European style. Unsigned. Well presented in a bird's-eye maple frame. Part of a pair of European scenes by the same hand. On board.

Condition

Some light discolouration caused by surface dirt. Signs of wear consistent with age. There is some very light craquelure to the surface. Some wear to the frame, and small areas of loss to the inner window.
