German School, Impressionist Landscape With Cottages

German School, Impressionist Landscape With CottagesAn easy going impressionistic landscape painting depicting a rural track with cottages. Its a piece that conveys the charm and relaxed atmosphere of a warm Summers day on the continent. Imagine the artist exploring this rural idyll, sitting under the shade of a tree, and capturing the view just as they saw it. The brushwork is almost nonchalant with its daubs of impasto. Signed in the lower left. Probably W Barth. Medium: Oil on canvasOverall size: 37
