This watercolour exudes a serene, almost dreamy atmosphere. The artist uses soft brushstrokes and subtle colour variations in greens, blues and browns to capture a rustic landscape. In the foreground are slender trees with transparently painted foliage, giving free rein to the light and creating a sense of space.
The water feature in the centre reflects the cool tones of the sky, while in the distance a small rowing boat is vaguely visible - a silent witness of human presence in an otherwise pristine nature. The composition exudes simplicity and tranquillity, enhanced by the loose, impressionistic nature of the technique.
The signature and year at lower right betray a personal touch of the maker. The suggestive rendering of shapes and the sparse use of detail leave room for the imagination, inviting the viewer to further fill in the story of this quiet, intimate scene himself.
