Landscape Study inscribed on reverse “Santiga” – Oil and Mixed Media Painting

Description
Original oil and mixed media landscape study depicting a rural setting with slender trees in the foreground and low village buildings beyond. Expressive brushwork and layered pigments combine earthy browns, muted greens, and warm rose tones against a soft blue sky, creating a lively yet balanced composition. The inscription “Santiga” on the reverse likely refers to the location depicted, possibly the village of Santiga in Catalonia, suggesting the work may have been painted from direct observation.
