Gennady Iosifovich Malyshev (Russian, 1922- ) Russian Impressionist oil on stretched brezent (hessian) titled By the Na Sukhyi Liman (On the Dry Estuary) signed and dated in the lower right ?78?. The Dry Estuary, outside of Odessa, is rendered in a loosely painted impressionist-style impasto, with a soft, limited palette, typical of his usual process. Canvas measures approximately 28.5 by 38.5 inches. Reverse is marked in Russian with the artist?s full name, the title, ?1922?, and the size. The painting?s surface is in very good condition, the back of the unprimed hessian is very dry causing slight pin-hole in the canvas and what appears to be a water stain on the lower edge which is not evident from the front. Overall in good to very good condition. This lot has a reserve.
