Impressionistic Landscape Oil Painting in Silver-Tone Frame

This item is an original oil painting on a small-scale board or panel, depicting a lush rural landscape. The composition features an open meadow in the foreground leading toward a dense line of trees and a shadowed forest under a muted blue sky. The palette is dominated by earthy greens, browns, and ochre, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century impressionistic style with visible, thick brushwork and impasto techniques. The physical construction is relatively small, approximately 8x10 or 9x12 inches, housed in a traditional silver-toned wooden or composite cove frame with a thin gold-toned inner liner or sight edge. There is a visible orange sticker on the lower right corner of the frame, likely a previous auction or estate sale cataloging tag. Notable features include the atmospheric rendering of the forest and the use of light to define the rolling terrain. Condition-wise, the frame shows light surface scuffing and minor gapping at the mitered corners, consistent with age. The painting surface appears stable with some minor surface grime and a naturally aged varnish; no significant paint loss or cracking is visible from the frontal view. While no signature is immediately discernible on the face of the painting, the execution suggests a proficient amateur or regional professional artist. The overall craftsmanship reflects a classical plein-air approach, focusing on light and natural textures rather than fine detail.
