This vintage piece features a multi-story architectural subject detailed with deep brown bay-window extensions, a classic yellow-columned facade, an elevated terrace, and stylized landscape trees framing a stone courtyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is a completed, unmounted textile canvas measuring approximately 23.5 inches by 12.5 inches.
