Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1890s.
On this day in Summer, a light breeze rustled the huddled leaves of the compact woodland. Drifting across the tremulous grasses, which vibrate by the shimmering water.
The pond is alive - rippling with hazy reflections and sharp golden tints. While the sky is ebullient and abundant with billowing clouds.
It’s a masterful work by an artist predominantly known as a scene painter. His landscapes rarely surface and this is a particularly good example.
