Lot 1153: A White-Painted Wooden Occasional Table, a Metal Laundry Bucket, and a Collection of Glassware
A mid-to-late 20th-century impressionistic oil painting on canvas depicting a Mediterranean coastal town at sunset. The scene features a cluster of buildings dominated by a prominent church with a tall spire, situated on a peninsula overlooking a harbour with several masted sailboats and smaller vessels at anchor. The composition is rendered with textured brushwork and visible impasto, using a palette of warm ochres, oranges, and muted greys to capture the light of the setting sun. The work is signed and dated 74 in purple paint in the lower right corner, reading Julis 74. The painting is housed in a dark-stained moulded wooden frame featuring a narrow gilt inner slip. Auction lot labels are attached to the frame, including a printed tag for Lot 1156 and a handwritten strip marked 938/.
