Impasto Street Scene Oil Painting by H. Duencuand (or similar signature)

This item is an oil painting on canvas or board, depicting a vibrant, impasto-style street scene, likely a city or village setting. The painting features several buildings with visible roofs in shades of red and brown, and walls rendered in white, yellow, and various greens and blues, suggesting a Mediterranean or European influence. The brushstrokes are thick and layered, giving the artwork a textured, almost three-dimensional quality, characteristic of impasto technique. In the foreground, two figures, possibly an adult and a child, are depicted, adding a human element to the urban landscape. Clothing or laundry lines are visible hanging from some of the buildings, indicating a lived-in environment. The sky is a mix of light blue and soft pinkish-white clouds, with small dark specks that appear to be birds. The dominant colors are earthy tones mixed with bright blues and greens, creating a lively atmosphere. The painting is framed within a light-colored, possibly off-white, textured frame, which appears to be made of wood with a linen or fabric liner. The visible condition suggests some age, but no overt damage or significant wear is apparent from the image. The artist's signature, "H. Duencuand" or similar, is discernible in the bottom right corner, though challenging to read precisely. The style, with its heavy impasto and bright palette, suggests a post-impressionist influence, possibly dating from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship is good, demonstrating a confident application of paint and a clear artistic vision. The thick application of paint adds a unique tactile quality to the piece.
