An original oil painting of a quiet domestic scene — a woman in apron and cap pinning washing to the line beneath a blossoming tree, a cottage with a red tiled roof beyond, a flower border in the foreground worked in thick impasto. The palette is soft and pastoral, all greens and creams with little flecks of pink and blue, in the Continental (likely Danish or Dutch) plein-air tradition. Set in a gilt and linen-lined frame. Appears signed lower right. Very good condition.
