Description from the seller
Jindřich Šimek
(1901–c.1979)
Title: Sailboats on the lake
Technique: oil on cardboard.
Dimensions:
– with frame: 54 × 42 cm
– unframed: 46 × 34 cm
Description:
A suggestive painting depicting sailing boats on a lake's glassy surface, bathed in soft, atmospheric light. The work captures a moment of quiet and serenity, as the boats glide slowly across the water, while the landscape in the background emerges in a delicate, hazy way.
The composition is characterized by a warm and harmonious color palette, with golden reflections on the water and a bright sky that lends depth and poetry to the scene. The brushstroke is free yet controlled, capable of effectively conveying the movement of the water and the lightness of the sails.
Oil painting on cardboard, used but well preserved. Provenance: Zurich, Switzerland. Wooden frame present.
Shipping / Pickup
Mail shipping is the most economical method, but not the most suitable for transporting works of art. In the case of postal shipment, the packaging will be done with the utmost care; however, especially for frames, it is not possible to guarantee absolute protection, and these must be regarded as a decorative element accompanying the artwork.
Tracked shipment. Insurance available on request (all costs borne by the buyer). Any duties or customs charges are borne by the buyer; delays and costs are also possible for Europe, shipment from Switzerland.
Pickup in Geneva by appointment, at your preferred time and free.
