About the Item

This atmospheric painting captures a quiet early morning moment as a lone figure walks through the streets. The figure is framed by a weathered stone archway and aged buildings. She carries a large basket, possibly on her way to the bakery to fill it with bread. The artist's skilled use of light and shadow draws the viewer's eye to this solitary figure in the foreground, creating a sense of intimacy and intrigue within the urban landscape. Presented in a vintage distressed frame. Signed and dated. On canvas on stretchers.
