Trees and greenery frame the composition on either side, creating a sense of enclosure and leading the viewer’s eye to the house in the distance. Forms are softened, with minimal details, emphasizing the overall mood rather than realism.

This artwork beautifully captures the simplicity of rural life, using expressive brushwork and a vibrant color palette. The dynamic movement of the cart, coupled with the warm, inviting tones of the countryside, evokes a nostalgic and tranquil atmosphere. Its modernist approach emphasizes emotion and essence over intricate detail.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has scuffs and some wear.
