The work stands out for its material and vibrant brushwork, typical of the Piedmontese school of the early twentieth century. The artist uses a chromatic palette dominated by shades of green, brown and ocher, with skillful touches of light that define the volumes of the building and the foliage. The painting is signed in the lower right and dated 1931 directly in the paint, testifying to the authenticity and creative period of the author. Benedetto Ghivarello was a significant exponent of the Turin artistic scene, known for his views and landscapes capable of combining realism and atmospheric sensitivity. The work is presented within a coeval or Déco style frame with wave processing, which enhances its visual impact. The painting dates back exactly to the year 1931, placing it fully in the production of the first half of the 20th century. The state of conservation appears good, with the colors maintaining their original vivacity and the support intact.
