An impressive and large original oil painting on board by well-known South African artist Petro van Graan, presented in a substantial, deeply moulded vintage dark wooden frame with classic stud-detailed inner trim. This striking vertical piece features Van Graan’s signature vibrant, whimsical style, capturing a picturesque countryside scene complete with red-roofed cottages, towering cypress trees, and two figures joyfully riding bicycles along a winding path bordered by colourful blooms. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower right-hand corner and carries a textured, incised inscription in the upper left. Measuring a commanding 166.5cm in height by 79cm in width, the item is in good vintage condition with minor, age-appropriate wear and light scuffing to the heavy wooden frame, making it a spectacular statement piece for any collector of South African fine art.
