Oil on Board | Signed | Framed | 23.5" W x 18.5" H (framed)

This tranquil oil painting, created circa 1944 in Czechia, captures a lush woodland stream with moody skies and impressionistic detail. Painted with rich, earthy tones and expressive brushwork, the scene evokes the stillness of a countryside just beyond the reach of modern life. A glassy, reflective surface of water draws the viewer into a secluded natural world, flanked by mature trees in autumnal bloom.

The work is signed in the lower right corner. While the signature appears to read something similar to “A. Giters” or “Agitz”, the artist’s full identity remains unconfirmed. Given its style and origin, the painting may relate to the regional Czech plein air or academic landscape movements that flourished in the early to mid-20th century.

Housed in a heavily textured, gilded and ebonized frame with intentional patina, the presentation is evocative of the period and complements the nostalgic mood of the composition.

Medium: Oil on board
Framing: Distressed gilt & ebonized wood, original to the period
Signature: Lower right, artist unidentified
Dimensions: 23.5" W x 18.5" H (framed)

Valued for its regional origin, expressive composition, and period framing. Would appeal to collectors of Central European art or rustic landscape scenes.
