DETAILS
Large original oil on original canvas, signed lower right.
Very beautiful and imposing representation of a countryside landscape, Belgian or Dutch, with its houses with "orange" roofs, its small pond in the foreground and its mill, towards the back of the work. Although the sky appears somewhat cloudy, signifying the changeable weather at the moment, the sun's rays nevertheless manage to hit the ground and partially "line" the walls and roofs of the houses. The work on light and contrasts is remarkable and the "blur" of the background is no less so. A perfectly executed painting !
