This really is a beautiful, vibrant original oil painting by the well-known Brazilian artist Paulo Dallier (1932–2024).

A lovely, charming "Naive style" village scene. It features the bright colors, bold brushstrokes, and historic architectural shapes that Dallier is famous for

It is hand-signed by the artist with "RIO 74", meaning it was painted in Rio de Janeiro way back in 1974. This makes it a very cool, early-career piece from his first few years of painting

Canvas measures roughly 30cm x 32cm (about 12 x 12.5 inches) set in simple rustic frame which is then mounted onto another “background” mount board - common practice in the 70s.

Highly collectible Brazilian artist

Slight marks on mount board and, for accuracy, a tiny weeny dent - hardly anything - it really is in very good vibrant condition for 52 years old
