Mestchezsky 1927 Oil Painting of a Picnic
Item Details
An oil painting on canvas by an artist appearing to sign and date the work ‘Mestchezsky 27.’ The painting depicts a young couple picnicking under an umbrella in a forested landscape. It is rendered in a Post-Impressionistic style, with the forms portrayed in a stylized manner and the figures being the most detailed. The trees almost appear as if they are carved from the paint, with textural trunks and well-defined edges, and the perspective has been flattened, condensing the sense of space. The work is signed and dated in black to the lower right. The stretched canvas is presented unframed, awaiting your choice of presentation, and is ready to hang with a wire.
