Description
This charming original oil portrait of a Swiss Man collecting food in a basket was painted in 1939 by Swiss Artist Friedrich Johann Erismann (22.10.1911 Gerzensee, † 9.8.1995 Bern). The painting is on light cardboard and is framed with the original Frame. The one of a kind piece of art is signed and dated.
There is writing on the back of the painting which says
"Waadtländer Bauer auf dem felde 1939" which translates as "Vaudois farmer in the field 1939"
Height 29.5 cm (11.6")
Width 25.5 cm (10")
Depth 3 cm (1.1")
Condition report:
The Painting with the frame is very light as the painting is on light cardboard and weighs just 247 g. On the left side of the painting there are some white stains. The frame is old and stained in some placed but is till strong. It would be very easy to reframe this piece if you wanted to.
Cancellations
We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.
Returns
We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.
I usually ship items within 1 to 3 working days of receiving an order. However if there is a bank holiday in Switzerland that is diffent to the UK or some other delay I will inform the buyer.
Please message me your phone number and email address for the shipping documents.
Swiss Post is the shipping provider that I use, it is the best and most economical option in Switzerland. All packages are sent with a tracking number. For smaller boxes if you would like a slightly cheaper price (it usually works out at about £5) I can ship without a tracking number but you will need to contact me directly to let me know. If there is no tracking number and the parcel gets lost we will not be able to find it or get reimbursed so I strongly recommend keeping the tracking number. If your parcel is lost or stolen without a tracking number I am not responsible.
All items over the value of £135 will be taxed by the Customs in Great Britain and Customs Duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
As much as possible I reuse packaging for all my shipments. Selling Vintage means that all the items in my shop have a different shape and shipping requirement. I have a very diverse stock of clean boxes in different sizes to accommodate this. I usually double box delicate items and for this I use the strongest boxes which are the right size for the job. Some of these boxes may have labels and writing on the outside, but the aim is to get the item to you as safely as possible and recycle as much as possible so reusing boxes makes sense.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
