Impressionistic Street Scene Painting with Figures and Umbrellas

This item is an framed original oil or acrylic painting depicting a vibrant, impressionistic-style street scene at night or dusk, characterized by heavy impasto brushwork. The painting is rectangular, oriented vertically, and features a palette dominated by blues, oranges, reds, purples, and yellows, with strong contrasts created by illuminated streetlights and reflections on a wet surface, likely pavement After a rain shower. Two indistinct figures, seemingly a couple, are walking away from the viewer under umbrellas, with a small animal (possibly a dog) walking beside them. The background features buildings with visible windows, some of which are brightly lit, adding to the urban ambiance. The artistic style leans towards Post-Impressionism or Expressionism, with a focus on color and texture over precise realism. The paint is applied thickly, creating a tactile surface with clear brushstrokes, indicative of a palette knife or heavily loaded brush technique. Reflections of the lights and figures are prominently depicted on the wet ground, adding depth and a sense of atmosphere. There appears to be a signature in the lower right corner, though it is not clearly legible from the image provided. The painting is housed within a substantial gold-colored frame with an ornate, possibly carved or molded, rococo or traditional design, featuring intricate decorative elements and a matte finish. Inside the gold frame, there is a black matte or liner that provides a visual border around the artwork, enhancing its presentation. The overall condition appears to be good with no obvious signs of damage or wear to the painting itself, and the frame seems intact. The style suggests it could be contemporary or mid-to-late 20th century. The quality of the impasto and color usage indicates a skilled hand, though without a clearer view of the signature or further details, it's difficult to ascertain specific manufacturing details beyond it being a hand-painted piece.
