Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting on Canvas

This item is an original representational oil or acrylic painting on stretched canvas, executed in a contemporary impressionist style. The composition depicts a scenic European-style courtyard or village path, featuring an elderly white-haired man in casual summer attire standing beside a small donkey. The painting is characterized by visible, textured brushwork and a vibrant palette of greens, ochre, terracotta, and various floral hues. Measuring approximately 16x20 to 20x24 inches, the work shows a high degree of detail in the rendering of stone steps, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and a cat perched on a wall in the background. The man holds what appears to be a modern smartphone, adding a contemporary narrative element to the traditional pastoral subject matter. The canvas is currently mounted on a wooden studio easel, suggesting it may be a recent or unfinished work. The condition appears excellent with no visible signs of cracking, yellowing, or structural damage, though the edges remain unframed. The light source is consistent, coming from the upper right, creating naturalistic highlights and shadows across the cobblestones and architecture. No clear artist signature is visible in the provided image.
