About the Item

This exquisite oil on canvas from 1880 captures a vibrant summer landscape in the Alps. It presents a picturesque nook: a small watermill with a grassy roof sits by a quiet river, a lone female traveler with a dog and a bundle of firewood walks along a scenic path, and tall mountain peaks dissolve in the hazy mist in the distance. Soft, naturalistic tones and carefully crafted light create depth and a cozy pastoral atmosphere. While we were unable to identify the artist from the "EW" monogram, the quality of the brushwork and composition is evident and leaves no doubt about the author's high professionalism. This European landscape is a true gem equally suited for a collector of European painting or as a striking accent in a modern interior. DETAILS: Artist: Unidentified.

Fording the River Landscape British Master Nasmyth 19th century Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
Signed lower right "Nasmyth" leading to one of the whole pleiad of renowned Scottish artists starting with Alexander Nasmyth (1758 -1840). This painting showcases a scene of a landscape with shallow water, where a family is seen wading through a river ford in knee-deep water. The presence of a shepherdess on a high bank, observing the travelers with keen interest, adds a sense of pastoral charm to the composition. One of the focal points of the painting is a picturesque tree that has fallen into the river, adding a touch of drama to the overall scene. The contrast between the lush woodland and bushes on the right side of the foreground and the rolling valley on the left side further enhances the depth and perspective of the painting and superbly illustrates the traditions of the early 19th century British Art...
