About the Item

José M. Girão, “Rural Landscape”, Watercolor on Paper, Signed and Dated 1897 Artist: José M. Girão (1840-1916) Title: Rural Landscape (Paisagem Campestre) Medium: Watercolor on paper Date: 1897 Signature: Signed and dated lower right: J. Girão 1897 Framing: Presented in a period-style frame with gold and ebonized molding Dimensions: 14 x 23 cm Description A delicate and atmospheric 19th-century watercolor by Portuguese artist José M. Girão, depicting a tranquil countryside landscape. Executed in soft, muted tones, the scene features rustic architecture nestled among trees and an expansive sky — a composition that speaks to the romantic sensibility and lyrical realism of the era. The work showcases Girão’s sensitive use of light washes and controlled brushwork, capturing the quiet poetry of the rural Portuguese landscape at the turn of the century. The inclusion of agave and stone elements in the foreground provides depth and a sense of place, while tall pines anchor the composition. The painting is signed and dated 1897 in the lower right corner, and is housed in an elegant ebonized and gilt frame with a double-lined mat, enhancing its classical presentation. Condition Very good antique condition. Minor age toning and spotting to the paper, consistent with the medium and age. The frame is in excellent condition and ready for display.
