An oil or heavy-bodied acrylic painting on stretched canvas by Heather Burton, depicting a picturesque canal scene in Bruges, Belgium. The composition features a low stone bridge spanning a waterway, flanked by traditional Flemish gabled buildings and mature trees, with a church tower visible in the distance. The work is rendered in a representational style with a heavy impasto technique, particularly in the textured application of paint on the stonework and architecture, suggesting the use of a palette knife. The painting is signed in white block letters HEATHER BURTON in the lower-left corner. The reverse of the canvas retains a manufacturer’s label for Winsor & Newton Colourman Canvas 0104. The piece is presented in a dark-stained, multi-tiered wooden frame.
Canvas: 300 mm x 400 mm
Frame: 335 mm x 425 mm.
Condition report:
