Mexican/Cuban Courtyard Oil on Canvas Miniature Painting

Category
Paintings
Condition
Excellent
Description

This item is a miniature oil on canvas painting depicting a Latin-American arched courtyard

with a door open on the opposite side and a flowering bush on the left. 

There are also flowers next to the door. 

The painting looks very old, likely antique. 

The medium is canvas stretched on board, attached with old-fashion nails at the back.

It is signed in the right left corner, but I did not manage to identify the artist, looks to me like Les/Ros Sorensz, but not sure.

The frame is made of solid heavy wood with natural imperfections, probably hand-made, imitates a window opened into the courtyard. Very charming piece.
