Beautiful Antique American Folk Art Oil Painting Snowy Homestead Landscape
Up for sale is a beautiful antique folk art oil painting depicting a snowy country landscape. A cute homestead sits within the cold landscape with only a single figure standing directly at the works center wearing a red hooded cloak carrying a bundle of firewood. I particularly like the varied trees that are painted from dead looking with no leafs to right tall vibrant green pines to the left. Low mountains fills the background with slight a slight portion of the setting sun visible casting some inhibited orange hues. This painting is unsigned and well executed for a presumably self taught artist. The painting is executed in oil on artist board measuring 12.5 x 21 inches while the original gold gesso wood frame measures 17.75 x 26.75 inches. The condition of the painting shows some surface abrasions and minor loss while the frame also shows some gesso loss and minimal looseness at the corner joinings. The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this lovely 19th century American folk art painting but if you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to purchasing!
