Size:50x70x3cm

Medium:Watercolor on Cardboard

“House of George Xatzidoksoglou” is a meticulously rendered watercolor and ink painting by Greek artist Dorotheos Antoniadis,according to the elegant handwritten inscription along the bottom margin. The composition centers on a traditional two-story Greek house, identifying it as the 1930 residence of Georgios Hatzioglou, featuring an elevated stone staircase, wooden shutters, and a clay-tiled roof dusted with a thin layer of snow. Antoniadis uses a soft, naturalistic color palette, washing the house’s plaster facade in warm cream tones and ochre brickwork that stand out gently against a crisp, unclouded light blue sky. A bare, textured winter tree frames the left side of the structure, its skeletal branches casting delicate shadows across the roof, while the snowy foreground and quiet urban surroundings evoke a peaceful, freezing morning in Kilkis.
