AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Painting by the Indonesian national, artist, Soeboer Doellah (also seen as Dullah Soeboer).
Theme: It appears to be the famous Curug Cimahi (Rainbow Waterfall) – West Java.
Known as the Rainbow Waterfall, Curug Cimahi stands 87 meters tall.

Doellah Born in 1938, he is a well-known Indonesian Postwar & Contemporary painter famous for his vibrant oil paintings,
often featuring traditional Indonesian life, markets, and natural scenes, with his works appearing at
auction and in galleries, showcasing a distinctive style that captures the essence of Indonesian culture.

Name Variations: Soeboer Doellah, Dullah Soeboer.
Medium: Primarily oil on canvas.
Style: Postwar & Contemporary, known for capturing Indonesian scenes.
Subject Matter: Indonesian country side, Flora, Markets, and everyday life.

This painting is a match to other paintings of Doellah, Indonesian landscapes

Provenance: oral, the owner a Greek merchant mariner and collector was introduced in early-mid 80's,
by local Indonesian shipping agents to Doellah himself, as a most promishing artist of Indonesia in the 80's. The mariner bought it direct from Doellah,
not from a gallery. The mariner brought it to Greece, adding this to his collection and it was his only Indonesian painting.
The photos have been taken in natural outdoors daylight.

Condition: Very good. Some signs of age/use, please study very well the detailed photos.
Note the painting was in a house in downtown Piraeus/Greece in an urban environment,
evidently as you see in some of the photos some white areas are slightly darkened, it is logical
after more than 40 years in such conditions. The darker white areas could be a result also of the paint itself, this is not certain.
Some wrinkles in some areas from aging. Despite all this, most of the green areas seem to be in a really very good condition.

The large frame was made in Greece, it is of good quality.

This is a large painting and Doellah's large paintings score much higher in international auctions.
