Dimensions: 21x40 cm

Fascinating view of Lake Thun with a chalet in the foreground and sailing boats that animate the calm waters of the lake. In the background, a majestic Alpine range opens up, rendered with delicate luminous tones that suggest a scene at morning or at sunset.

The composition, balanced and narrative, brings into dialogue traditional Swiss architecture with the natural landscape, in a picturesque vision typical of late nineteenth-century landscape painting. The brushwork is fine and controlled, with particular attention to the chalet details and the atmospheric rendering of the water and the mountains.

A pleasant reading of the work, evocative of the romantic charm of Swiss lake landscapes.

Good overall condition.

The work will be packed with the utmost care using professional materials. Postal shipping is economical but not the most suitable system for works of art: it does not guarantee the absence of damage, especially for canvases and frames. On request, a quote can be obtained for shipping via professional specialized carriers. Longer lead times and customs costs may also occur for shipments within the EU. In Geneva pickup is the recommended option. In case of return (wrong address, non-payment, unpaid duties, etc.), return and reshipment costs will be borne by the purchaser. Combined shipments available on request.
