Oil painting on panel by Maria Toldy – Winter landscape with certificate.
Charming oil on wood panel signed by the Hungarian artist Maria Toldy (born in 1939), titled "Campfire by the River." This poetic winter scene depicts four figures gathered around a fire by a frozen river, in front of a forest of snow-covered fir trees. Executed with great finesse in the spirit of the Dutch little masters, this cabinet-sized work will add a classic and warm touch to a wall of frames or a library. The painting is sold in its imposing classical-style gilded frame with an off-white linen mat, along with its original certificate of authenticity issued in January 1996 by the Marcel Spilliaert expertise office. I should note that there is an error on the date; look at the certificate number, it is noted 96/01/543 and my other painting has the number 96/01/542: they were indeed certified in 1996. Features: Artist: Maria Toldy born in 1939 (signed at the bottom left) Technique: Oil on wood panel. Dimensions of the artwork: 13 X 18 cm. Dimensions with the frame: 31 X 36 X 5 cm. Condition: Very good overall condition of the painting and frame (slight patina of use consistent with age) Included: Original stamped and signed certificate of authenticity.
