The Brook

20th-century small-scale oil painting on hard carton in an antique frame.

This compact landscape painting is rich in moody tones, with shadows settling over a marshy terrain beneath an illuminated sky. A small brook reflects the pink hues of the clouds above, drawing the eye through the composition. In the foreground, short vertical brushstrokes suggest tall grasses, enhancing the feeling of a wetland at dusk.

The painting is in good condition. The antique wood and gilded stucco frame has been repaired and repainted in several areas, most notably along the lower edge.
