Painting of 'Zubry w Puszczy Białowieskiej'

The item is a framed oil painting on canvas, depicting a winter landscape with visible brushstrokes and texture characteristic of oil paint applied to canvas. The color palette predominantly features cool tones, particularly various shades of light blue and white, suggesting a snowy atmosphere. The surface texture of the canvas is clearly discernible, indicating a medium to coarse weave, which provides a tactile quality to the artwork. The visible section of the painting shows a snowy ground or field, with hints of darker forms in the upper portion that could represent trees or animals, though not fully clear in this crop. A key distinguishing feature is the handwritten inscription in a dark, possibly black or dark blue, script at the bottom left of the painting. The inscription reads "Zubry w Puszczy Białowieskiej", which translates from Polish to "Bison in Białowieża Forest". This provides a specific title and subject matter for the artwork, identifying the scene as European bison in the famous Białowieża Forest. This inscription is a critical piece of information for identification and appraisal, potentially indicating the artist's own title or a historical annotation. The painting is housed within a gilded, ornate frame. The frame features a classic, decorative design with molded details, including repetitive scrollwork or bead-like patterns, and an inner fillet. The gold finish of the frame appears bright and well-maintained, suggesting either good preservation or a relatively newer framing. The visible condition of the painted surface appears stable, without overt signs of cracking, flaking, or significant discoloration. The overall presentation, with the detailed title and ornate frame, suggests a piece intended for display as fine art. Due to the limited view, the artist, age, and specific style period (e.g., impressionistic, realistic) are difficult to ascertain definitively beyond the identification of the medium and subject.
