Sadie Dahl Appraisal

Framed Landscape Pastel by Sadie Dahl

This item is a large-format landscape painting by artist Sadie Dahl, featuring a vibrant, Impressionist-style field scene. The composition depicts a rolling meadow transitioning into a distant horizon under a textured blue-grey sky. The work utilizes a rich palette of autumnal reds and oranges in the foliage, contrasted against yellow-green grasses and deep purplish-blue shadows. The medium appears to be pastel or oil pastel on paper, characterized by visible, energetic hatching and layered strokes that create a sense of movement. The piece is professionally mounted with a wide, off-white archival mat and housed in a contemporary, honey-toned natural wood frame with a simple flat profile. While specific dimensions are not provided, it appears to be a substantial exhibition-sized piece. The condition is overall excellent with the artwork protected by glass; however, there is a minor visible scuff or light reflection on the glass surface near the right-side trees. The frame shows no significant structural damage or corner separation. This contemporary piece represents high-quality craftsmanship in the regionalist landscape tradition, focusing on the atmospheric interplay of light and color.
