1940's Vintage French/Italian textured landscape. This is a darling antique oil painting on a LEONDARDESCA canvas. We can't specify where it was originally painted as we purchased it in France and the canvas is a specialty canvas from Italy. However, it is a wonderful original painting and we love the texture and the way the paint is raised on the canvas. I just love this piece and it is in nearly pristine condition. The overall dimensions are approximately 8" x 10" x .25". A truly lovely unsigned picturesque and tranquil piece of original French/Italian art.
