Description

This late 19th-century oil painting by British artist Henry W Henley (fl.1871-1895) depicts an upland landscape with a winding stream.

Henry W Henley was a notable landscape painter known predominantly for his works in oil. His often dramatic upland views frequently captured the majestic scenery of North Wales and the Scottish Highlands. Welsh rivers, such as the picturesque banks of the Conwy, were a particular inspiration. As were the misty lochs and fens of Inverness-shire.

Here, the view feels reminiscent of the rugged Highlands where the mists clutch the mountains and the streams dart rapidly across exposed stone.

Signed in the lower right and held within a later frame.
