‘After the Rain’
British School, 19th Century
A beautifully atmospheric oil on board depicting a peaceful riverside landscape beneath a clearing sky. Soft shafts of light break through heavy clouds, illuminating the gently flowing water and surrounding trees.

Executed in a rich, tonal palette, the painting reflects the 19th-century British tradition of capturing the subtle moods of the countryside.
