Vintage Snowy Landscape at Sunset Original Pastel Oil Painting
Vintage Snowy Landscape at Sunset Original Pastel Oil Painting
$150.00
I remember having the hardest time last winter finding a fun little winter scene oil painting to brighten up my winter displays. Imagine my excitement when I found this little piece. It was just the kind of thing I was looking for to add some color to a winter mantel display. I want Warmth & Cheer customers to have better luck than I was last year!
This vintage pastel oil painting is just a striking winter scene with a cozy house sheltering along the banks of a frozen river, a foot bridge and water trough and well pump in the front. There is a soft orange winter sunset sky peeking out through a stand of snow laden trees and a surrounding snowy landscape. You can almost feel the cold and crispness of the air and the lights in the house and skis at the front door gives the air of coziness to the home! The colorways are subtle and reminiscent of winter light, which makes it adaptable to many décor styles. I particularly like the color of the sky and house.
You could add this painting to a collection of nature scenes or prop it on a bookshelf or mantel. It is not signed or dated, but judging by the rest of the items from the Estate sale I would put it in the 1940s.
It is framed in a nicely detailed wood frame that has a silver wash finish and silver and black accents. The piece is securely held into the frame and there is brown backing paper still in place. The frame is in very nice vintage condition with just a bit of surface nicks and scuffs and paint loss. The corners are tight. The painting is in very nice condition with just a bit of waviness to the surface behind the glass. It has a really nice presence. There is a corded hanging wire. It is behind glass.
The piece is signed in the lower right hand corner, A. Marriott. There was a sticker accompanying the piece at the sale that indicated it was from the artist Althea Marriott Dean and appraised by the local museum curator at $150.
Overall really nice condition and a special winter scene!
