Framed Oil Painting by G. Penni: European Lake/River Landscape with Bridge and Mountain Vista

The item is a framed oil painting on canvas or board, depicting a picturesque European landscape, likely Italian given the architectural style and mountainous lake/river setting. The painting features buildings with terracotta roofs and stucco walls, green-shuttered windows, and a stone arch bridge spanning a body of water. A boat is docked or floating nearby with figures inside, and a single figure with a red hat is visible on the waterfront. In the background, majestic snow-capped mountains rise above the tranquil water. The color palette is vibrant, dominated by blues for the sky and water, various greens for foliage, and warm earthy tones for the buildings. The impasto technique is evident, especially in the textured brushstrokes that give depth to the buildings and foliage, suggesting a mid to late 20th-century style. The visible signature in the lower left corner appears to read "G. PENNI." The painting is housed within a dual-toned frame; an inner light-colored liner frames the artwork, and an outer darker, possibly wood, frame with a gold-toned inner lip encases the entire piece. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age, such as slight abrasions on the gold lip. The painting itself shows no immediately apparent damage, tears, or significant discoloration, indicating a well-preserved piece.
