A View of Como by John Biasetto

This is an original oil painting on board or canvas depicting a serene harbor scene at Como, New South Wales, by artist John Biasetto. The composition features a foreground of native Australian eucalyptus trees with their characteristic dark, rounded foliage framing the lower portion of the piece. The middle ground showcases the blue waters of the Georges River with several sailing vessels at anchor, including a prominent white yacht to the left and another under sail further right. The background includes the hilly residential landscape of the shoreline and a distant bridge structure under a hazy, atmospheric sky. The artist's signature is visible in the lower-left corner. The work is housed in a professional gallery presentation consisting of a double-matted frame; an inner light-gold filet or mat is bordered by a wide off-white primary mat. The outer frame is a traditional wooden molding with a gilded or gold-painted finish that shows some minor age-related wear and slight corner separation. The painting exhibits fine brushwork and a soft, naturalistic color palette of blues, greens, and warm earthy tones. Based on the style and framing, the piece likely dates from the late 20th century. The condition of the artwork appears stable with no immediate signs of flaking or moisture damage, though some light surface dust is present behind the glass.
