Cottages

Sale Price: $265.00 Original Price: $350.00

This 1917 oil painting captures a tranquil countryside scene with a rustic brick cottage nestled among tall, leafless trees under a softly clouded sky. The artist’s expressive brushwork and muted color palette convey the quiet mood of early spring or late autumn, with subdued greens and earthy browns harmonizing beautifully with the cool grays of the overcast light. In the background, a small white outbuilding adds contrast and depth to the composition. The artwork is elegantly presented in a newly crafted custom frame—matte black with a subtle wave texture and an inner gilded border—complementing the painting’s tonal balance while adding a refined contemporary touch to this early 20th-century piece.
