OPENING BID
The artist is J.H.S. Gomm (often referred to as John Gomm or Johannes Gomm).
Gomm was a prolific South African landscape artist active in the mid-20th century. His work is characteristic of the "traditionalist" South African school, focusing on the atmospheric lighting of the bushveld, often featuring the iconic silhouettes of thorn trees (Acacias) and the warm, hazy glow of the African sun.

Condition: Your painting appears to be in its original frame. If the canvas is taut and free of "craquelure" (fine cracking), it maintains its value better.
Size: (around 58cm x 73cm) .
Artistic Style
Gomm’s style is noted for its soft, almost romanticized view of the South African interior. In this specific piece, he uses a technique called sfumato to create the hazy, smoky effect in the background, which beautifully captures the dust or heat of the bush.
