About the Item

This charming early 20th century painting is the work of Belgian artist A. Gevels and dates to around 1910. The scene shows four playful putti moving through an idyllic garden and water landscape. Their soft expressions, delicate skin tones and the transparent drapery floating around them reflect the refined academic style practiced in Belgium during the Belle Époque period. The painting is signed and dated A. Gevels 1910 in the lower area. Although the artist is not widely documented, the work fits within the high quality regional Belgian school of the early 1900s, known for romantic and decorative compositions. One of the most remarkable features is the original sculptural nature frame. Built as an intricate arrangement of branches and knots, the frame enhances the organic mood of the scene and is highly uncommon to find in this preserved condition. It gives the work a strong decorative presence and makes it suitable for distinctive interiors. The painting has a warm and inviting palette, with lively greens and soft tones that remain well balanced despite the age of the piece. It presents beautifully in both classical and eclectic settings and is especially appealing to designers who look for unique Belgian artworks for American interiors, country houses or boutique environments. A rare and atmospheric piece of early 20th century Belgian art. Materials and Techniques Oil on canvas Original sculptural wood frame Hand painted
