Original Signed Oil Painting of a Village Street Scene

Item Details

A signed, original oil on canvas painting of a village street scene, likely showing the clock tower of Cartagena, Columbia, in the far distance. The scene depicts a vendor with a wheeled cart on a narrow street, next to a donkey cart with passengers. Pedestrians walk in the background and stand in an arched doorway. The scene is flooded with bright sunshine, rendering the foreground shadow in deep contrast. The style is loose and improvisational, with bright colors against muted tones. It is signed to the lower right ‘E. Thieto(?)’ To the verso is written in red pencil, ‘Oleo Espatula / Tras La Torre De Cartagena – Col.’
