This is a larger oil on canvas depicting a western landscape entitled "Out West" with horse and rider overlooking the pink mountains in the background. The sky luminated in a soft blue/ green coloration. The painting is not signed on the front, it is hand written on stretcher and also retains an old tag affixed to verso reading; "Kleiminger Out West". The painting is housed in a simple wood molding frame with white washed finish.
Measures; painting 26" x 30", framed 29" x 33""

Condition:

There is overall large pattern craquelure, the canvas is quite stiff and could use some stretching, you can see some small creases along edge near frame with very minor paint loss. It could use some work, probably a reline, clean and re-stretch in the future. It displays ok, it's not perfect, but it's a great south western scene. Please view all photos as they are part of the description.
