Impressionist River Landscape with Boathouse Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting executed on board, depicting a serene river landscape at dusk or dawn. The composition features a prominent overhanging tree on the left bank, a calm body of water reflecting the sky, and a small boathouse or riverside structure nestled among trees on the opposite shore. The color palette is dominated by earthy greens, muted blues, and warm ochre tones in the sky, reflecting an impressionistic influence with visible, textured brushwork. The painting is housed in a substantial mid-to-late 20th-century wooden frame with a metallic gold or champagne finish, featuring a linen-covered inner liner (matting). Notable physical characteristics include the layered application of paint to create reflections on the water's surface. Regarding condition, there is visible surface wear and several instances of paint loss or flaking in the upper right quadrant of the sky area, revealing the underlying board. The linen liner shows slight discoloration consistent with age. This work appears to be from the mid-20th century, styled in a traditional plein air tradition. While a signature is not clearly legible from this distance, the quality of light and atmospheric perspective indicates a trained hand.
