A work of rustic expressionism where the weight of the land is felt in every brushstroke.
A quiet village street is lined with simple, thatched cottages, their heavy, triangular roofs pressing down under a turbulent grey sky. The artist works the paint with a heavy, deliberate impasto, sculpting the coarse texture of the thatch and the rough-hewn walls directly on the canvas. This is a landscape of earthy solidity and peasant realism; there is no romanticism here, only the quiet, enduring presence of buildings that seem to have grown from the soil itself.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Inscription on Front: Indistinctly signed lower right.
Condition: Framed in a vintage black and gilt wood frame. The painting is in excellent condition with its heavy impasto surface stable and intact.
