Framed Original Landscape Painting: Forest and River Scene (Signed, 1981)

This item is a framed original landscape painting, depicting a serene forest and river scene. The artwork is housed within a dark wood frame with a contrasting inner gold-toned lip, providing a classic border to the canvas. The painting's palette is dominated by cool blues of the sky and water, warm yellows and greens of the dense foliage, and earthy browns of the tree trunks and riverbanks, accented by the stark white of birch trees and grey-white rocks. In the foreground, a prominent tree stump is visible on the left bank, and two large, dark-trunked trees frame the composition, drawing the eye towards the tranquil river. Several slender birch trees with distinct white bark are scattered throughout the mid-ground, with some leaning gracefully over the water. White and light grey rocks are visible both on the riverbed and along its banks. The brushwork appears to be loose and impressionistic, particularly in the rendering of the foliage and the ripples of the water, suggesting an oil or acrylic medium. The overall condition appears good with no immediately visible significant damage to the painting surface, though typical wear (minor scuffs, dust accumulation) is expected on the frame consistent with its age. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, possibly reading 'JOSER', and the piece is attributed to 1981, placing it in the late 20th-century period. The composition has a sense of depth and peacefulness, characteristic of traditional landscape art, with unique elements such as the 'A'-shaped arrangement of some birch trees.
