"Nineteenth Panel Painting By Petrus Augustus Beretta"
Superb oil painting on panel by Petrus Augustus Beretta. It represents a scene of urban life where we see boats moored at the quay in a city. The architecture is reminiscent of a city in Holland where the painter was born. The painting is very bright, full of details and very lively. It is presented in a period gilt wood frame. The painting is signed at the bottom left in the piece of wood that comes out of the water.
