Half-Timbered Village Canal Oil Painting, Signed, Framed

About the Item

A still green-grey waterway recedes between steep-roofed half-timbered houses, board fences and clipped shrubs toward a bulb-domed church spire and pale blue hills. The palette is chalky and muted: cream and ochre plaster, terracotta and moss-green roofs, soft blue sky, with the buildings mirrored in the water. Paint is thin and small-brushed with light impasto in the roof tiles and foliage; a fine craquelure runs across the whole surface. A small brown dog stands on the near bank at lower left. Medium: oil on canvas. Signed lower right, painted in red over the water, reading "C.FAU?ET". Condition: Fine age craquelure over the entire canvas, most visible in the sky and water; surface dirt and slight dulling; frame shows minor knocks. No tears, losses or restoration visible in the photographs.
