Georgina de Albuquerque Impressionist Oil Painting of Grazing Horses

This is an original impressionist-style oil painting on canvas by the Brazilian artist Georgina de Albuquerque (1885-1962). The composition features a group of horses grazing in a grassy field with rolling hills in the background under an overcast sky. The work utilizes a muted color palette dominated by earthy ochres, browns, sage greens, and atmospheric grays. The brushwork is expressive and fluid, characteristic of early 20th-century impressionism. The painting is signed 'Georgina d'Albuquerque' in the lower right corner. It is housed in an ornate, period-style gilded composition and wood frame featuring acanthus leaf motifs at the corners. Regarding condition, the canvas shows visible signs of aging, including yellowing varnish and potential surface grime. The frame is in fair to poor condition, with significant losses to the gilded plaster decoration along the inner and outer edges, revealing the white substrate beneath. There is a small metal identifying plaque at the bottom center of the frame, though the text is illegible in the image. This piece likely dates from the first half of the 20th century.
