About the Item

This atmospheric pastoral landscape by a Dutch artist portrays a peaceful 19th-century riverbank where rural life blends with the romance of waterways. The composition follows classical principles of the Dutch-Flemish School, achieving depth and spatial dimension. The foreground presents peasants taking a brief rest while watching over their small herd at the watering spot. The middle ground is equally populated with peasant figures, cattle, and sailing boats navigating the river's broad expanse. In the distance, softened silhouettes of a windmill and additional sailing vessels harmoniously conclude the composition. This truly charming painting is worthy of enriching any interior with the tranquil romance of Dutch riverside scenery. DETAILS: Artist: Unsigned. An inscription "Roberson & Miller at 51 Long Acre" on the canvas reverse allows us to date the painting to the first half of the 19th century. An ink inscription "Windsor" on the reverse of the stretcher suggests that the painting was subsequently brought to England. Medium: Oil painting on canvas.
