Lot 53:
Framed Impasto Landscape Oil Painting
Description
C-21764
Framed oil on canvas depicting an expansive arid landscape with a winding road descending from a rocky mountain pass into a broad valley beneath a dramatic sky. Executed in a heavily textured impasto technique using palette knife and brushwork to create pronounced relief across the surface. The canvas is mounted proud of the frame rather than recessed into a rabbet, creating a shadowbox-style presentation that emphasizes the painting’s thick paint application. Signature, obscured by the frame, reads "Alonso" in the lower right.
The canvas is mounted proud of the frame rather than recessed into a rabbet, creating a shadowbox-style presentation. Painting exhibits extensive craquelure throughout the heavily applied paint layers with scattered areas of lifting. The frame displays scattered scratches, finish wear, and numerous small holes from previous hardware or decorative attachments. The canvas and stretcher are structurally sound. The painting has not been examined outside the frame.
