Mediterranean Coastal Village Landscape Painting

This is an original oil or acrylic painting on panel depicting a sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal scene, likely inspired by the Italian Riviera or Amalfi Coast. The composition features a cluster of colorful, multi-story buildings in hues of terracotta, ochre, and warm pink, nestled against a steep hillside. In the foreground, sailboats are docked in a small harbor with deep blue water, while the background reveals distant lavender-toned mountains and a clear sky. A large, stylized green tree dominates the right foreground, framed by foliage on the left. The painting style is characterized by expressive, thick brushwork and a vibrant, impressionistic use of color. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Rosa Gaustella' or similar, followed by a date that looks like '83 or '87, suggesting a late 20th-century origin. Regarding condition, there is a prominent vertical scratch or paint loss in the upper left quadrant near the red roofline, and smaller surface abrasions are visible elsewhere on the substrate. The edges show slight wear, indicating it may have been handled or stored without a frame. Despite the minor surface damage, the pigments remain bright and saturated with no significant yellowing of the varnish.
