CHRYSTAL 1962 Mediterranean Street Scene Painting

This signed and dated 1962 original painting by the artist “CHRYSTAL” presents a contemplative street scene set within a Mediterranean / Middle Eastern coastal environment. Stone buildings frame a narrow passageway that opens toward light and water in the distance, while figures move through the space with a quiet sense of daily life. The scene feels lived-in and timeless, shaped by sun, history, and human presence rather than idealized architecture.

The palette is warm and grounded, emphasizing textured walls, softened edges, and the contrast between shadowed alleys and open sky. The composition gently draws the viewer inward, inviting reflection rather than spectacle.

In the lower right corner appears a handwritten inscription in Hebrew, likely a personal signature or notation by the artist. This detail adds cultural depth and layered meaning, suggesting a connection to language, place, or identity beyond the Latin-alphabet signature “CHRYSTAL” and the clearly dated October 1962 in
