Old painting signed. Seaside scene. Oil painting on wooden panel.

  
This is an oil painting on a wooden panel depicting a coastal scene. Let's break down the style, period, and movement. The style is realistic, but with a painterly approach. The brush strokes are visible, giving it a slightly impressionistic quality, particularly in the sky and water. The figures are rendered with attention to detail but are not hyper-realistic. Overall, it falls within a style of representation that combines realism with brushwork. The style suggests it could date from the late 19th or early 20th century. Several movements from this period share characteristics with this piece.

The emphasis on depicting the scene aligns closely with realism, but the visible brush strokes push it beyond strict photorealism. The broken color in the sky and the loose brushwork suggest impressionist influences.

However, unlike pure impressionism, it retains more defined forms. It may even show subtle links to post-impressionism, given the attention to personal expression in the brushwork, although it does not rely on the extreme stylistic choices observed in some post-impressionist works. The old painting is signed in the lower right corner. It features a scene by the seaside, with boats and figures along the shore. Technique: Oil painting on wooden panel.

Dimensions of the oil painting on wooden panel: height 22 cm, width 41 cm. Dimensions of the gilded antique frame: height 32 cm, width 50 cm, depth.
