This evocative work captures the serene beauty of twilight as golden light fades across a tranquil countryside. The scene is dominated by tall, rooted trees beside a reflective pond, with a dramatic orange and yellow sky blending into dusk — an exquisite depiction of nature’s quiet transition at the end of day.

Rendered with expressive brushwork and a romantic palette, the painting reflects the mid-century European tradition of atmospheric landscapes. It retains its original ornate carved wood frame in a distressed cream finish with gold undertones and a brass title plaque. Signed “M. Roche” lower right.
