Adriaan Boshoff was a self-taught painter of landscapes, seascapes, still life, and figures. He became one of South Africa's foremost artists, and claimed international attention. He worked in oils, and became known for portraying everyday scenes in his unmistakable impressionistic style. This painting is oil on canvas and is signed in the lower left corner. I bought the painting in 2003 from Pieter Oosthuizen Antiques and Interiors in Pretoria, South Africa. The painting measures 37 x 26 cm (14.50 x 10.25 inches) excluding the frame, and 51 x 41 cm (about 20 x 16 inches) including the frame. It is in excellent condition. less
