An original vintage oil painting showing a Bavarian folksy family scene in the joinery. Painted in oil on cardboard, signed by W. Melchinger 1956. A great original painting in naive style.

Alpine oil painting is a non-academic form of rustic art. The content depicted reflects the life of the people in their culture and landscape. The artists like to show the magnificence of the Alps and the domestic and wild animals that are native there. Traditional life with festivals and customs are also depicted with pleasure.
