Signed Original Landscape Pastel – Serene River Scene – Mid-Century Framed Pastel on Paper

This signed original landscape pastel mid-century artwork features a serene river scene, beautifully rendered in soft pastel on paper. Signed original – artist unknown, the piece has a dreamy, impressionistic quality with layered strokes of muted greens, warm ochres, and soft blues reflecting across the water. The pastel medium gives it a velvety texture that shifts subtly with the light. (Glare on the acrylic)

Set in a classic gold-toned frame with a linen-style mat, this piece has an elegant, timeless presence. The acrylic front does create some glare in photos, but in person it protects the artwork while still allowing the colors to glow. It’s a quietly striking piece that adds warmth and depth to a room.

Why I Chose This Piece
