George Stanfield Walters
19th century English River Scene on the Maas, Holland

circa 1880

About the Item

This painting, titled A Creek on the Maas, is by George Stanfield Walters (1838–1924), a British artist known for his maritime and coastal scenes. Walters’ work often captured the serene beauty of European waterways, and this particular piece portrays a peaceful moment on the River Maas (Meuse) in Holland. The composition is centered around two traditional Dutch sailing vessels, their sails partially furled as they drift on the calm waters. The sky, filled with soft, billowing clouds, reflects subtly on the rippling surface, demonstrating Walters’ skill in rendering atmospheric effects. Small boats and distant sails dot the horizon, creating a sense of depth and continuity in the scene. The foreground features a grassy riverbank with lush green vegetation, contrasting with the muted tones of the sky and water. The overall color palette is delicate and natural, dominated by soft blues, grays, and earthy browns, reflecting the tranquil ambiance of the Dutch waterways. The ornate, gilded frame adds to the elegance of the piece, emphasizing its significance as a fine maritime artwork. Walters, a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, was renowned for his ability to capture the interplay of light, water, and sky, making this painting a beautiful example of his talent in marine landscapes. signed bottom right
