Painting from the late 19th century, impressionist oil on panel.

This painting, an oil on panel, depicts a landscape, likely Italian or Mediterranean, in a style reminiscent of Impressionism or Post-Impressionism. It is characterised by a pronounced use of impasto and textured brushstrokes to convey light and colour. The work features visible brushstrokes and an open composition, typical of Impressionism, emphasising the changing effects of sunlight on the houses and vegetation. The paint is applied in thick layers (impasto), giving relief to the scene. The landscape includes houses with tiled roofs, a large tree, and dense vegetation, recurring elements in representations of Italian landscapes, such as the Roman or Tuscan countryside. The identification of the artist has not been possible due to the absence of a clear signature or additional information. On the back is a barely legible seal that likely contained (traces of sealing wax are still visible) a cartouche with the artist's certification. Frame dimensions: 28 cm X 21 cm; painting dimensions: 23 cm X 15.5 cm.
