Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY NO RESERVE
Delicate painting of the 20th century depicting a naturalistic scene with horses in a tranquil countryside landscape.
The composition features a splendid mare with a mottled coat watching calmly over her foal lying in the grass. The setting is a wide meadow dotted with small flowers and spontaneous vegetation, bathed in soft light that creates a serene and harmonious atmosphere. The elegant pose of the adult animal and the presence of the foal convey a strong sense of quiet, protection, and naturalness.
The artist uses a bright and natural color palette, with the meadow's delicate greens contrasting with the warm brown-reddish tones of the horses' coats. The rendering of the animals is meticulous in anatomical details and in the nuances of the fur, giving the scene a pleasant decorative and realistic character.
Please note that, given the age of the work, it is in good overall condition for its period, but may show light signs of aging, small imperfections or slight losses, elements that attest to its authenticity and historical value.
The frame is to be considered a gentle homage and is not counted as an integral part of the lot. In case of any damage to the frame during transport, it will not be subject to dispute or refund.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight to highlight every detail.
Our shipments are fast, professional, and with securely protected packaging: these are the associated shipping costs.
Based on applicable laws on works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) will be more costly and may cause problems or delays, at the buyer's expense, unless otherwise privately agreed.
