AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

19th Century Dutch Romantic School – Forest Landscape with Figures

A high quality 19th century Dutch Romantic School painting, depicting a tranquil forest interior with small figures. The composition shows a deep wooded landscape with monumental trees, subtle light effects and a calm, atmospheric mood characteristic of the Dutch Romantic tradition of the mid-19th century.

The painting demonstrates strong technical skill, particularly in the rendering of tree trunks, foliage and spatial depth. The small figures provide scale and narrative without dominating the composition, a hallmark of academically trained landscape painters of this period.

The work is indistinctly signed lower right. The signature appears old and original but is not clearly legible, therefore the painting is offered correctly as Dutch Romantic School, 19th century.

Condition
The painting is in good overall condition. It has been relined, which is common and acceptable for works of this age and contributes to its structural stability.
The surface appears somewhat darkened, likely due to an aged varnish layer, and would benefit from a professional cleaning, which could significantly enhance the colours and depth.
The gilt frame is attractive and well-matched, in good condition overall, with a small split to one corner, consistent with age and not affecting its decorative appeal.

Dimensions
Canvas: approx. 41 × 31 cm
Framed: approx. 59 × 49 cm

A charming and atmospheric example of 19th-century Dutch Romantic landscape painting, offering strong visual presence and clear artistic quality. An excellent piece for collectors of Dutch art, Romantic landscapes, or classic interior decoration.


Important note regarding the frame and shipping

The frame is provided free of charge and is considered an accompanying element to the artwork. All bids are therefore placed on the painting itself, not on the frame.
Antique and decorative frames of this type are inherently fragile. Despite careful and professional packaging, damage to the frame can occur during transport. For this reason, we cannot offer any guarantee on the condition of the frame after shipping.
For maximum safety, we strongly recommend professional art transport. We work with a reliable and experienced transport partner who specialises in handling and delivering artworks.
