Oil on Board
Size: 24.2 x 26.8 inches (including frame)

A vibrant and playful Naïve style composition of a riverside scene, executed in oil onto board.

This narrative painting presents a river winding through the center of the composition. Two figures in a boat float down the river, while others stroll along the pathway beside it. Red-roofed houses with bright façades dot the landscape, and a red bridge crosses the river in the background, adding to the idyllic charm of the piece.

The artist has used a Naïve style, infusing the painting with an aura of playful charm, and there is sincerity to its simplicity, making it an absolute delight to look at.

The brushwork is expressive, with thick textured strokes, and together with its rich and vibrant colour palette, the artwork is infused with liveliness.

This oil on board is housed in a wide profile gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some very minor scuffs which do not detract from the overall appearance. less
