Description
This 20th-century decorative landscape is an oil on canvas painting depicting a tranquil wooded scene with slender, light-barked trees surrounding a calm body of water. The work is executed in a representational style characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century commercial art, featuring heavy impasto in the foreground and foliage likely achieved through wet-on-wet techniques. The painting bears the signature Millet in white cursive script in the lower-left corner. The canvas is stapled to wooden stretcher bars and is housed in a stepped wooden frame with an off-white inner liner.
Sight dimensions 23.5 X 35.5 in.
Frame dimensions 43 X 31 X 2 in.
Condition report:
The painted surface appears stable with some expected surface dirt. The verso of the canvas exhibits significant foxing and moisture staining on the fabric. The frame shows minor wear consistent with age.
