A contemporary Impressionist oil painting on canvas titled “On the Road to Rocquencourt” by Martin Jewell. Hand signed lower left and dated 1-28-92 on the verso. The composition features a nostalgic view of a quiet country lane in France with a richly textured Impressionist style. Tall trees with loosely rendered autumn foliage flank the road, guiding the viewer’s gaze into the distance where the lane disappears into a soft, hazy horizon. Scattered figures in period dress, a horse-drawn carriage, and quaint village houses add narrative charm and historical ambiance. Jewell’s use of dappled light and expressive brushwork evokes the influence of 19th-century French masters while maintaining his own romantic sensibility. The composition radiates serenity and timelessness, celebrating both nature and rural life.
