TABLEAU

Superb oil on canvas depicting a view of Bruges. The scene illustrates a stone bridge spanning a canal lined with old houses with steep roofs, set in a warm autumn atmosphere. Technique: oil on canvas. Subject: urban landscape, stone bridge, canal, ancient architecture. Mood: warm autumn tones, beautiful depth and play of light. Beautiful texture and relief. Signature present at the bottom right (to be identified). The composition is balanced, with a lovely perspective guided by the bridge and the reflection in the water. The colours are rich, dominated by ochres, browns, greens, and reds. Large richly moulded and gilded wooden frame, with relief decorations at the corners and centre, in classic / Louis XV style. Very decorative, perfectly showcasing the artwork. The frame is in generally good condition with slight wear consistent with age. Overall good condition, canvas taut, with a few small signs of time visible, frame with slight signs of use.
