Description: This is a beautiful and Fine Antique Old Early California Desert Landscape Oil Painting on canvas, by early 20th century California Impressionist painter, Paul Leishman (b. 1913.) There is very little information available on this immensely talented plein air painter, but perhaps you know more about him or his work? This artwork depicts an enchanting California desert landscape scene, with a pale yellow and orange sunset sky above, a finely rendered magenta and sienna hued mountain vista, and a small adobe style cabin in the foreground, to the lower right of the image. At the lower edges are various desert plants, painted in a highly Impressionistic manner. This piece is unsigned but was acquired from the same old estate with two other signed Leishman artworks. Its authorship and attribution are guaranteed. This painting likely dates to the 1930's. Approximately 21 1/2 x 27 1/2 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 18 x 24 inches. Very good condition for nearly a century of age, with some light speckles of paint loss, crazing and light craquelure throughout, and mild scuffing, gilding loss and edge wear to the original period gilded wood frame (please see photos.) Acquired from an old estate collection in Palm Springs, California, which included two other paintings by Leishman that will also be listed soon.
