Painted with the thick, direct brushwork of a trained hand working outdoors — every mark confident, nothing wasted.The subject, palette, and handling place this firmly in the tradition of the Hague School and Belgian Impressionism — the late 19th and early 20th century painters who made the flat, grey, quietly magnificent Low Countries landscape their own. A painting that rewards the eye that slows down for it.Signed lower right with initials. Painted on board, period construction. See less
