Large Vintage Oil Painting River Landscape European Countryside Scene Unsigned

Elegant original oil painting on canvas, depicting a tranquil European countryside scene with two slender trees by a calm riverbank and a distant village bathed in soft afternoon light. 

The artist’s use of layered impasto and delicate tonal transitions captures a serene sense of balance between nature and architecture. The mirror-like reflections on the water and muted, atmospheric palette give the work an impressionistic charm evocative of the Barbizon and post-impressionist schools.
