Description from the seller
Alpine Mountain Landscape with Wild Stream – Oil Painting from 1871
J. Willa, signed and dated
This large-format oil painting depicts an alpine landscape with a roaring wild stream that carves its way through rocky terrain in a forested mountain valley. In the background, mighty rock peaks rise, partly shrouded in clouds, while a small wooden hut and a single figure along the path animate the scene. A romantically naturalistic composition, typical of late 19th-century Alpine painting.
Artist: Signed with J. Willa
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dating: 1871
Frame: Includes a period-typical wooden frame with a black-gold profiled strip.
Condition description:
The painting is in a condition appropriate to its age of over 150 years. The color effect is vivid and the composition is fully preserved. Signs of aging are visible in the images.
In detail, the following signs of aging are present:
Craquelure: The paint layer shows a uniform craquelé network.
Canvas: Isolated light impression marks; no penetrations or cracks.
Stretcher & Frame: The original stretcher and the decorative frame show a slight warping – structurally stable and intact. The frame contains areas of flaking.
Delivery scope: Oil painting on canvas including the frame
