Oil Painting On Wood Panel – “view Of An Ancient Village” – Signed Paon

Refined oil painting on wood panel, signed “Paon”, created in the second half of the 20th century, depicting a charming urban scene in an Italian village. The composition captures a stone-arched alleyway with historic buildings in warm tones, typical of Mediterranean architecture.

In the foreground, a touching and nostalgic moment: several female figures, likely washerwomen, are portrayed as they do laundry at a public stone washbasin, partially hidden by steps and shadow. This detail adds a narrative and social depth to the work, evoking the everyday life of rural Italy in the last century.

The natural light and the perspective give depth and atmosphere to the painting, beautifully enhanced by an ornately carved gilded wooden frame, in perfect condition.
