Framed Oil on Board Coastal Seascape

This item is an original oil painting on board, depicting a tranquil coastal seascape at dusk or dawn. The composition features a rugged, rocky coastline transitioning into sandy dunes, with two small figures standing on a promontory overlooking a calm sea. The color palette is dominated by muted blues, greys, and earthy browns, with a warm, pale yellow glow emanating from the cloud-streaked sky. The brushwork appears deliberate, utilizing impasto techniques particularly in the rocky foreground to create texture and depth. The painting is signed in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Jean Wegener' or similar, followed by a date that looks like '1970'. The artwork is housed in a mid-century period wooden frame with a gilded inner lip, a wide cream-colored linen or fabric mat insert, and an outer gilded frame edge. The frame shows minor signs of age, including small scuffs and darkening of the linen matting consistent with a 1970s origin. The craftsmanship reflects a professional decorative art style popular in the late 20th century, characterized by atmospheric lighting and a classic representational approach to landscape painting.
