18. M. Straus (Continental School, 19th Century)

An oval shaped imaginary landscape on canvas, approx. 16" x 20", framed in a period gilt frame with ornaments at the center top, bottom and sides. The idyllic landscape depicts overgrown ruins and sculptures at the left, a boat on a mountain-rimmed lake in the center and a road with figures, one kneeling in prayer at a shrine at the right. The far right side of the composition also has columns from ruins, overgrown with meandering pink flowery vines. The signature is along the trail at the lower right corner.
