This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting, presumably 19th Century, shows a quiet village winter scene with cottages, leafless trees, and small figures skating or walking along a frozen stream. The muted sky and earthy tones are rendered with visible brushwork that gives the snow and tree trunks subtle texture across the paint surface. The ornate gilt and carved wooden frame complements the warm palette and draws the eye inward to the one-of-a-kind composition. A collector will appreciate the intimate scale and the tactile quality of the paint that confirm this as a unique period work. Presumably 19th Century . The painting measures 41 × 35 cm (16.1 × 13.8 inches). If a frame is shown in the pictures, the frame is always included with the artwork :)
