Twilight Lighthouse Oil Painting in Gilt Frame

This item is an original oil painting on canvas or panel, depicting a solitary lighthouse silhouette against a dark, nocturnal or twilight sky. The artwork is characterized by a moody, tonalist aesthetic, utilizing a palette of deep purples, indigos, and ochre highlights to suggest the last remnants of sun hitting the structure's side. The composition focuses on a central vertical lighthouse atop a sloping cliffside, with what appears to be a lower structure or outcropping to the left. The brushwork is visible but controlled, creating a soft, atmospheric quality. It is housed in a substantial, multi-tiered gold-finished cove frame with a rounded profile that adds significant visual weight. The frame appears to be contemporary with a slight metallic sheen. While a signature is faintly visible in the lower right-hand corner, it remains illegible without closer inspection. The overall condition looks excellent with no immediate signs of paint cracking, flaking, or significant frame damage visible in the photograph, though there is a minor separation at the top left miter joint. This piece reflects a modern realist or tonalist style, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.
