This intimate composition captures a tranquil rural moment with a thatched-roof cottage nestled beside a calm riverbank. Chickens roam the grassy path, while a tree with autumnal foliage mirrors softly in the water below. Executed in expressive, textured brushwork, the piece reflects Browne’s Impressionist influences and his keen sensitivity to light and rustic atmosphere. Presented in its original ornate gilt wood frame with visible age wear that adds to its vintage character. Signed lower right.
