CA$ 324.34
Large Signed O. Jalava Canadian Autumn Lake Landscape
Original Vintage Oil Painting Offered is a large and highly decorative original oil painting depicting a tranquil Canadian lake surrounded by colourful autumn foliage, white birch trees, evergreens and a winding woodland road. The painting is signed “O. Jalava” in the lower-right corner. The signature may be associated with Orvokki Jalava, a member of the Finnish-Canadian Jalava family of landscape painters; however, the precise artist attribution has not been independently authenticated and the work is being sold as signed O. Jalava. This expansive landscape is particularly attractive, with a luminous blue sky, calm reflective water and vivid fall colours ranging from golden yellow to deep crimson. Textured brushwork throughout the trees, rocks and shoreline gives the composition depth and visual richness. The painting is presented in an elaborate vintage white and gold-toned frame with raised ornamental flourishes at the corners and centres. Its generous scale gives it substantial presence and makes it well suited for display above a sofa, fireplace, console or in a large traditional interior. Approximate Measurements
• Overall framed size: 42 inches wide × 28 inches high
• Visible painting area: approximately 36 inches wide × 22 inches high Measurements should be considered approximate. Artist Attribution The painting is clearly signed O. Jalava. The accompanying biographical information suggests that the signature may refer to Orvokki Jalava, associated with a Finnish-Canadian family of landscape painters that also included Anna, Erkki and Mauri Jalava. Because no gallery label, dated inscription, certificate or other identifying documentation accompanies this painting, attribution to Orvokki Jalava is presented as a possibility rather than a guarantee. Condition The painting displays well overall and retains strong, appealing colour. Condition details include:
• Scattered small paint losses or dark marks near the upper edge of the sky
• A faint curved surface scratch or line visible in the upper-left sky
• Minor scattered surface marks consistent with age
• Age-related wear, rubbing and discolouration to the frame
• Several small cracks or separations within the frame’s decorative moulding
• Wear and small losses to portions of the white and gold-toned finish
• Age spotting and discolouration visible on the reverse The frame remains highly decorative despite the noted wear. The painting has not been professionally cleaned or restored. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description. Additional Details
