About the Item

Antique Oil Painting – Rustic Genre Scene Artist: Unidentified Period: 19th Century (Attributed) Medium: Oil on Panel Dimensions: Framed: 44 x 38 cm Artwork: 27 x 20 cm Style: Academic Realism / Romanticism / Genre Painting This charming oil painting on panel captures a playful genre scene, depicting a barefoot young boy enjoying a drink from a rustic bottle while reclining in a natural outdoor setting. The artwork reflects the 19th-century European tradition of genre painting, which often focused on idyllic rural life, innocence, and simple pleasures. The figure’s expressive face, animated pose, and rich, earthy palette contribute to the work’s lively and engaging character. Executed with refined brushwork and warm, atmospheric lighting, the painting aligns with Romantic and Academic Realist styles, reminiscent of works by artists such as Adriaen van Ostade and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who frequently depicted lively depictions of peasant children in charming and naturalistic compositions. The contrast between the dark, lush background and the illuminated figure creates a compelling depth and a sense of movement. Illegibly Signed. The painting is set within a beautifully ornate gold-toned frame, enhancing its elegance and historical appeal. This piece would make an excellent addition to any collection of European genre paintings or 19th-century decorative art, offering both a glimpse into past traditions and a timeless celebration of rustic charm.

Kazuya Ushioda "The Sound Of Prayer" - Oil On Panel Figurative Painting 2021
Located in Denver, CO
Kazuya Ushioda’s The Sound of Prayer (2021) is a striking figurative oil on panel that captures a moment of quiet reflection. Measuring 44.12 x 11.87 x 0.70 inches, this tall and slender composition features a single figure clothed in a white kimono adorned with delicate blue floral motifs and cinched by a vivid red sash. The woman’s eyes are closed, and her hands are gently positioned near her head, suggesting an intimate state of concentration or contemplation. Painted in oil on a carefully prepared panel, this original, handmade work showcases Ushioda’s meticulous technique, evident in the rendering of subtle skin tones and nuanced folds of fabric. The vertical format accentuates the graceful poise of the figure, drawing the viewer’s gaze downward from her serene expression to the richly detailed kimono patterns. The neutral background highlights the subject’s form, creating a harmonious interplay of color and space. Executed in 2021, The Sound of Prayer stands...
