Mid-Century Alpine Landscape Oil Painting by K. Poprawa

This item is an original oil painting on canvas or board, depicting a serene alpine landscape. The composition features two rustic wood cabins with steeply pitched thatched roofs adjacent to a stream. A dense evergreen forest occupies the middle ground, while snow-capped mountain peaks dominate the hazy, warm-toned horizon. The color palette is dominated by earthy greens, browns, and ochre, with white accents for the birch trees on the left. The artist's signature, appearing to read 'K. Poprawa', is visible in the lower right corner in dark script. The piece is housed in a simple, flat-profile wooden frame with a medium-tone finish. The style is characteristic of recreational or commercial art from the mid-20th century, likely 1950s-1970s. The paint application shows visible texture, particularly in the foliage and the water's reflection. Regarding condition, there is a minor area of paint loss or abrasion in the upper left corner near the frame edge. The frame shows light age-related wear but remains structurally sound. The overall craftsmanship suggests a skilled hand-painted execution following traditional landscape motifs popular in Central European decorative arts.
