This characterful oil painting by Paul Overhaus (1935–2014) It depicts a serene cityscape where simplicity, color, and architecture converge. With a clear composition and a restrained color palette, Overhaus manages to capture the essence of the urban environment. The facades are reduced to powerful planes and lines, giving the work a timeless and almost meditative appearance.

The subtle brushstrokes and soft color tones give the painting a tranquil atmosphere, while the simplified forms are reminiscent of modernist painting from the second half of the twentieth century. The result is a work that feels both figurative and slightly abstract, and therefore continues to captivate.

Although this painting unsigned is, it concerns a authentic work by Paul Overhaus. It is executed in oil paint on board and professionally framed.
