About the Item

In this serene and atmospheric 19th-century British School landscape, a tranquil lake stretches across the centre of the canvas, its surface softly reflecting the overcast sky and the imposing mountains that rise on all sides. The composition conveys a Romantic sensibility, characteristic of British art from this period — reverent toward nature, contemplative in mood. In the foreground, gently floating on the lake’s calm waters, is a wooden rowboat. Inside it are five figures: two men, seated near the back of the boat, their faces clearly visible — both middle-aged. Opposite them sit three women, their backs turned toward the viewer. Dressed in long, modest day dresses with bonnets shielding their heads. The anonymity of the women — faces unseen — adds a layer of mystery and emotional distance. The surrounding mountains, rendered in soft greys and blues, recede into a misty horizon, suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. Delicate brushwork and subtle gradation in the sky contribute to the mood of introspection and harmony with nature. The painting is not signed The size of the canvas is 31 x 45 cm
