18th-century original oil on canvas landscape painting, likely depicting a Southern European setting, most probably Italy. The composition features a couple seated in the foreground surrounded by wooded trees, with additional details including cattle, horses, a body of water resembling a lake, and a sailboat. A hilltop town perched on a cliff overlooks the expansive landscape, capturing the romantic atmosphere typical of mid-18th-century Italian scenery.
Craquelure is present throughout the canvas, along with staining that suggests the painting may benefit from professional cleaning at the buyer’s discretion. The canvas is somewhat loose. The painting is housed in a newer wood gilt frame. Sold in original vintage condition, this piece offers a classic European landscape with rich narrative detail and depth.
