Autumn River Scene Painting with Figures in Boats

This item is an oil on canvas or board painting depicting an autumnal river scene with two figures in boats. The overall color palette is dominated by warm tones of deep red, orange, yellow, and brown, suggesting either sunrise/sunset or the fall season. The foreground features a calm river with reflections of the sky and foliage, rendered with visible brushstrokes creating a somewhat textured surface on the water. On the left side, a small, dark-colored boat is occupied by a solitary figure, seemingly paddling or steering, with several round, reddish-brown objects (possibly baskets or produce) in the boat. Another similar boat with a figure is partially visible on the right side, closer to the viewer. The riverbanks are heavily wooded with dense, leafy foliage in shades of russet, gold, and dark green, suggesting a thick jungle or forest. Several bare, dark tree trunks with sparse branches rise above the foliage, particularly prominent in the upper left and center. In the distant sky, a flock of small, dark birds can be seen. The painting exhibits a somewhat naive or folk-art style, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on atmosphere rather than minute detail. The texture of the paint is somewhat uneven, with areas of impasto, particularly in the foliage. Visible condition issues include some smudging or wear along the edges, and possibly some surface dirt or dust, contributing to a slightly dulled appearance. There are no discernible artist's signatures or maker's marks visible in the provided image. The style suggests it could be from the mid to late 20th century. The craftsmanship, while not hyper-realistic, effectively conveys a mood and a narrative, indicating a decorative rather than fine-art intention, yet solid in its execution of color and composition.
