A 19th-century French oil painting on board, depicting a river at sunset, bordered by trees and shrubs on both banks and opening onto a lake with hills in the distance. A palette of light blue, dark green and orange renders the striking effect of sunlight on a cold winter landscape. Quick, painterly brushwork adds movement to the scene, reducing the trees to leafy shadows and adding texture to their reflection in the river and to the hazy clouds in the sky.
Presented in its original giltwood frame. A captivating landscape study with evocative colour.
