Antanas Rukstele Lithuanian/Australian artist Landscape Oil painting
$425
Antanas Rukstele was a important Lithuanian listed artist who moved to Australia in the late 40s
Comes in nice wooden frame. The border matting needs replaced. The glass needs a clean underneath. The painting itself is still bright and vibrant but it does have a few age related spots, mainly in the middle in the sky area. See photos. Still a nice painting by an important Lithuanian artist.
Good investment has his painting sell well. The last photo show some of the prices in US dollars so a lot more in AUD
