I. Cafieri (20th Century), Original Oil on Canvas River Landscape. Measures Approx H 73 x W 103 cm. Collection Only

An original oil painting on canvas by the artist I. Cafieri, depicting an idyllic river landscape. The composition features a winding dirt path in the foreground that leads towards a calm river, bordered by mature deciduous trees. To the right, a small cottage with a gabled roof is nestled amongst the foliage on the riverbank. The work is executed in a traditional representational style, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art, featuring a soft, atmospheric quality and a palette dominated by muted greens and blues with highlights of pink and white. The artist has employed varied brushwork, including dabs of paint for the leafage and areas of heavy impasto to provide texture to the tree trunks and the cottage roof. The painting is signed I . C A F I E R I in black paint in the lower right corner. The work is presented in a dark-stained wooden frame with a narrow gilded inner slip.
