Antal Berkes, Impressionistic Street Scene
A fine early 20th-century impressionistic street scene by Hungarian painter, Antal Berkes (1874-1938). Dozens of men and women, dressed in their fineries, are scuttling along the street - perhaps shopping or on their way home. While several horse-drawn carriages are rattling their way through the centre of the composition. It’s a painting that evokes the sights and sounds of a bustling city.
Berkes was born in Budapest and later lived in Paris, where he enjoyed capturing views of bustling streets. It’s possible that the street here is located somewhere in the French capital but it could also be in his hometown or Vienna. Berkes studied at The Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and his paintings were exhibited at the Ottó Herman Museum.
The painting is housed within a handsome gilded frame with foliate and decorative borders. Signed in the lower left.
Medium: Oil on board
Overall size: 26” x 19½” / 66cm x 50cm
Year of creation: c.1910
Provenance: Germany
Condition: Very presentable. Frame with some light age-related wear.
Artist’s auction highlight: £17,930 achieved for ‘Bohemian Life’ at an auction in Hungary in 2008. Also, £10,000 achieved for ‘Sunday Afternoon On A Terrace’ at Bonhams in 2008.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
