Impressionist Coastal Landscape Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting on what appears to be a small panel or canvas board, executed in a vibrant Impressionist style. The composition depicts a Mediterranean-style coastal scene, featuring a rugged, sun-drenched cliffside in shades of ochre and burnt sienna, topped with dark green trees and sparse vegetation. The middle ground reveals an expanse of blue water with two small boats, while the upper third is occupied by a cloudy, pale sky. The brushwork is expressive and impasto-heavy, with visible textured strokes that suggest movement and light. The piece is professionally mounted with a wide, clean white mat that provides a significant visual buffer between the artwork and the frame. The frame itself is a high-quality, gilded wood or composite with a detailed reeded or 'bamboo' style profile, adding a classic yet sophisticated aesthetic. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible signs of paint loss, cracking, or discoloration to the matting. The style suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century origins, likely by a skilled plein air artist influenced by Post-Impressionist masters. The contrast between the warm golden land and the cool blue sea indicates a strong command of color theory.
