{"product_id":"antique-naive-house-on-water-oil-32627","title":"Antique Naive House on Water Oil Painting, Turn of the century, Gold Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully charming early 20th-century French naïve landscape, depicting an elegant country château surrounded by towering trees and overlooking a peaceful pond. Ducks paddle across the water while a tiny rowing boat rests at the bank, giving the painting the delightful feeling of a personal portrait of a much-loved family home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an appealing naïve quality to the painting. Perspective and scale are treated intuitively rather than academically, while the château itself is rendered with careful attention to its windows, shutters and architectural details. This combination often gives naïve paintings a particularly personal character, suggesting that recording the identity of the house and its surroundings mattered more to the artist than creating a formally sophisticated landscape. The painting likely have been commissioned or painted as a portrait of a particular French family property, a tradition with a long history in European domestic painting. The inclusion of details such as the boat, pond, birds, flower beds and individual trees reinforces the sense that this was a familiar place rather than an academic landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character and wear consistent with its age. The gold frame retains a particularly attractive aged patina with rubbing, darkening and small areas of historic wear and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 14.17 inch (36cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 18.11 inch (46cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1.38 inch (3.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 11.61 inch (29.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 15.94 inch (40.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
