Listing description

Product description

Lot: a signed oil on canvas street scene, signed lower-right “Burnett” (uploader-provided artist name). Thick impasto brushwork and palette-knife texture create lively surface detail; painting remains mounted in its original gilt/painted wooden frame and has hanging wire in place. Strong decorative presence — the arc/arch and busy avenue are clearly visible and the signature is shown in detailed images.

Uses & buyers: an attractive decorative work for collectors of impressionistic city scenes, interior designers seeking textured wall art, or a restoration project for a conservator. Works well as a focal piece in a living room, study or boutique commercial interior where the impasto surface and period frame will be appreciated.
