Path in the Woods, oil painting on panel signed Leto, Italy 19th century

Oil painting on panel dating back to the late 19th century. The painting features Leto's signature on the lower right (see photo). Attributable to the Italian figurative painter Antonino Leto (Monreale, 14 June 1844 - Capri, 31 May 1913) as per the plaque on the frame, lacking authentication. The dirt path acts as a visual guide, inviting the observer to explore the mysterious depths of the forest, stimulating the imagination of what lies beyond the trees. The meticulous application of color adds depth and texture, reinforcing the sensory experience of tranquility that nature offers. Framed in an elegant gilded wooden frame. Price negotiable.
