Oil on canvas

A evocative mid-century composition that captures a quiet winter street scene in a rustic village, where figures bundled in coats wander along a snow-laden path, executed in oil onto canvas.

Flanked by bare trees and modest cottages with pitched roofs, the composition evokes the stillness of a cold day softened by human presence—two women chatting along a fence, and solitary figures making their way through the slush-covered street.

Executed in a loose, impressionistic style, the painting features dynamic, swift brushstrokes that build up the texture of snow, branches, and garments with expressive confidence. The palette is dominated by restrained tones – icy whites, blues, muted greys – with subtle warm accents from ochres and reds found in rooftops and clothing details. The artist’s technique imparts a palpable sense of movement and chill, capturing both the beauty and quietude of a mid-century winter’s day. There are areas of heavy impasto, giving the piece a very painterly feel.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. See less
