Alpine Village Street Scene Painting by E. Olive, c. 1920

This early 20th-century oil painting by listed artist E. Olive captures a quiet street scene in a rustic alpine village, likely in France or Switzerland. With a backdrop of layered mountain peaks, figures in traditional clothing gather by a fountain and converse outside shuttered stone homes. Richly textured brushwork and soft, earthy tones evoke a peaceful, bygone era. The painting is signed in the lower right and remains in its original hardwood frame. Very good vintage condition overall, with minor surface craquelure and age-appropriate patina, particularly along the lower half of the painting.
