Description
A wonderfully executed atmospheric street scene composition, dated 1955 and painted in oil onto paper. The composition presents a small path winding through a charming neighbourhood filled with unique houses of different designs and colours. In the background, we can spot an area of blue that resembles the ocean. As our eyes rest on the painting, they follow and are guided by the houses from the left foreground to the right background, due to the striking colours of their roofs. The artist has used a mix of cool tones and earthy colours, and the soft brushstrokes add a nice smooth finish to the painting. This oil on paper has been laid onto board and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The surface of the paper has some very slight undulation, as seen in the photos. The painting is housed in a beautiful grey frame with an inner green window that adds character to the piece. There is one very small paint loss to the middle bit of the painting as shown but this does not detract from overall attractiveness. There are some losses to the frame corners as shown in the images. Size: 44 x 52 cm (including frame)
