Description
This large-scale oil on canvas painting is executed in an Impressionist style, depicting a leisurely riverside scene. The composition features figures in 19th-century period dress enjoying a picnic on a grassy bank, accompanied by several red rowing boats and a white-sailed boat on the water. A cluster of houses is visible in the distance under a bright sky. The artist used thick, impasto brushwork to create a dappled light effect across the water and foliage. The painting is housed in an ornate gilded frame with foliate and leaf-and-dart molding, which includes an off-white linen-covered liner. On the verso, the canvas is stretched over a wooden frame with a central vertical support bar. A handwritten inscription in black ink on the right canvas return reads Hadri 82. No signature is visible on the front of the work.
Sight Size: 49.25 in x 31.25 in
Frame Size: 59.5 in x 41.5 in.
Condition report:
The painting is in good condition with light surface dust and minor grime. The frame exhibits minor nicks, scuffs, and small areas of gilt loss to the corners and edges, consistent with age and handling. The verso of the canvas shows light scattered foxing and minor age-related discoloration.
