John Adamos Manol (Greek, b. 1900) Impressionist Seascape, Oil on Canvas

Lot description

This oil on canvas painting by Greek artist John Adamos Manol (born 1900) depicts a sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal scene. The composition features a woman in a white dress and straw hat seated at a terrace dining table overlooking a harbor. A young child in a red dress is depicted walking across the sun-lit terrace. In the middle ground, sailboats with white sails rest on the turquoise water before a hillside village and distant blue mountains. The work is executed in a vibrant Impressionistic style characterized by thick, impasto brushwork and a bright, airy palette. The painting is signed MANOL in the lower-left corner with a long horizontal underline extending from the final letter. The verso reveals the canvas on a wooden stretcher with a gallery label from MONTIOLA SA DE CV in Mexico City, which includes a handwritten attribution to Koster. The artwork is housed in an ornate, gilded composite frame featuring floral and scrolled motifs. Artist: John Adamos Manol (Greek 1900-1989) Dimensions: 45.00"L x 2.25"W x 35.00"H Weight: 9.00 lb
