Antique original oil Painting Folk Art 19 Century Landscape, Signed, From Austria

  

This is an elegant and serene landscape scene oil painting, rich in detail, likely from the Romantic or Realist tradition, depicting a rural riverside setting. The composition features a winding river stretching into the distance, flanked by lush greenery, trees, and rolling hills. The sky is vast and atmospheric, filled with soft clouds, creating a sense of depth and tranquility.

In the foreground, a group of cows grazes near the water, reflecting a peaceful pastoral life. A small wooden hut with a thatched roof nestles among the trees, suggesting a humble dwelling. A horse-drawn cart with figures standing nearby is present on a dirt path, indicating daily rural life. Further into the distance, a boat with a curved sail glides along the river, adding movement and depth to the scene. A village with a prominent church steeple is visible in the background, reinforcing the idyllic and harmonious relationship between nature and civilization.

The painting is rich in detail, with an emphasis on light and shadow, soft brushwork, and a warm color palette dominated by earthy tones and subtle blues. The dark wood frame adds an elegant touch, enhancing its classical aesthetic. Painting is on the wood panel. Reading the printing and scripts on the back of frame can tell it's from a gallery of Austria.
