Ancient table

A genuine original painting (oil or thick gouache) depicting a village landscape with cottages, a bell tower, and two figures on a path. • The back of the canvas is heavily oxidized and brownish, with concentric age cracks very characteristic of an oil painting over 100 years old. No recent relining has been done. • The frame and mounting: The wood of the frame (assembled with mortise and tenon joints) and the original frame aged by time are consistent with the period of the painting. No exhibition label or color merchant's stamp is visible on the back.
