Autumn Coastal Village Landscape Oil Painting

This is an original oil painting on canvas, set within a decorative gilt-finish wooden frame. The composition depicts a charming coastal scene featuring a prominent two-story farmhouse or cottage in the mid-ground, flanked by large deciduous trees with rich autumnal foliage in shades of rust, orange, and burnt sienna. The foreground shows a winding path and rolling green hills, while the background reveals a cluster of white seaside buildings and small sailing vessels on a calm blue sea under a voluminous, cloudy sky. The style is representative of mid-20th-century representational folk art or provincial impressionism, utilizing visible, somewhat flat brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. The frame is a classic cove-style molding with a beaded inner liner and a rope-twist border on the outer edge, finished in an antique gold tone with a light patina. The painting shows signs of age congruent with a mid-century origin, including some minor surface grime and very fine craquelure visible in the lighter areas of the sky. The frame has small areas of loss to the gilding particularly at the corners and outer edges. No artist signature is clearly visible in the provided image, suggesting it may be hidden by the frame or located on the reverse of the canvas. The overall craftsmanship indicates a talented amateur or a commercial studio artist from the 1940s-1960s period.
