Gustav Macoun - Landscape with a lake
Plein air painting in oil on cardboard (71 × 61 cm) by Czech painter Gustav Macoun. It depicts a modern landscape with a lake running away from the viewer towards the hilly horizon. It is modelled with muted colours and sovereign broad brushstrokes. With the same amount of expressiveness, the painter has depicted the sky, which plays an important role in this work and completes the mood of the entire artwork.
Signed in the lower left corner. Framed and glazed.
