Garden Scene Painting by A. Negri

This item is an original oil painting depicting a garden scene with a large, light yellow building in the background, likely a villa or estate house. The painting is rendered in a somewhat impressionistic or realistic style with vibrant colors. The foreground features a lush green lawn, with a prominent tree, possibly a wisteria or similar flowering tree, with purple blossoms on the left side. Around the base of the tree are small clusters of white and orange flowers. To the right, there is a large bush with distinctive light purple or lavender foliage, possibly a hydrangea, with some white and orange flowers at its base. The building in the background is characterized by classical architectural elements, including arched windows. The structure is partially obscured by lush green foliage and climbing vines. The sky is a bright blue with some white clouds. The brushwork appears somewhat loose in areas, particularly in the foliage, giving a sense of texture and light, while the architecture is depicted with more defined lines. The painting is housed in a simple, rectangular wooden frame with a gold-tone finish, showing some minor wear consistent with age, specifically in the form of slight scratching or scuffing on the surface. There is a metal chain attachment at the top center of the frame, indicating it was previously hung. The visible signature in the lower right corner, confirmed by the 'A. Negri' context, indicates the artist. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious major damage, tears, or significant paint loss visible from the provided image, though specific condition issues like craquelure or discoloration would require closer inspection. Based on the style and typical framing, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century.
