A very tired but beautiful old impressionistic oil painting by Belgian painter, Léopold Lecomte (1890-1963).
Lecomte enjoyed painting coastal scenes and his work is characterised by the liberal use of oil paint and its easy-going nature.
Several areas of this painting are heavily textured, which is reminiscent of the post-impressionists, such as Van Gogh. But the years have been a little unkind leaving it flaking and worn.
If you enjoy character, this piece could look wonderful in the right setting.
It’s signed in the lower left.
