Description: This is a beautiful vintage original oil painting on board, signed by the artist Schmid, which depicts a traditional alpine cottage set against the dramatic backdrop of the German or Austrian Alps. Inscriptions on similar works indicate the location as Garmisch, a popular resort area in Bavaria known for its stunning mountain scenery.
The artwork captures the rustic charm and natural beauty of the region, utilizing a realist or romantic style popular in the mid-20th century (circa 1960s). The paint application is notably textured, adding depth and a tactile quality to the landscape.
Details:
- Artist: Signed "Schmid" (likely Karl Schmid or similar German regional painter)
- Title: (If a specific title is found on the back, insert here, e.g., "Berghot Mit Zugspitze". Otherwise, use "Alpine Landscape")
- Medium: Oil on board (or canvas, if you verify this)
- Origin: Garmisch, Bavaria, Germany (subject location)
- Period: Mid-20th Century, likely 1960s
Dimensions: 17 x 18 inches.
