Four Seasons Paintings Appraisal

Set of Four Original Oil Paintings, 'The Four Seasons', by JS Rosinger

This suite of four original oil paintings, signed by the artist JS Rosinger, depicts landscapes representative of the four seasons. Based on provided context, they are approximately 70 years old, placing their likely creation period around the 1950s. Each painting measures approximately 17 inches by 14 inches. The autumn scene features warm tones of brown and orange, depicting a stream flowing through a forest with a small bridge in the distance. The summer scene portrays a vibrant green landscape with a body of water, scattered trees, a small building, and figures near the water's edge. The winter scene shows a snow-covered landscape with a barn or cabin partially obscured by trees, rendered in muted grays and browns. The spring or summer scene shows a wooded area with a waterfall and sunlight filtering through the trees, primarily in greens and yellows. Each painting is framed in a simple gold-toned wood frame. There is a border around each painting within the frame which appears to be canvas material. The paintings are described as being in perfect condition. While details of the artist's technique are difficult to ascertain from the images, the brushwork appears impressionistic, with visible texture in the application of paint. The overall quality appears consistent with mass-produced or amateur artwork from the mid-20th century, though the subject matter of the four seasons is a classic theme.
