Henri Joseph Powell (1903-1983, Belgian) – Cottage by the Water
Oil on canvas, signed lower right.
A characterful and atmospheric landscape depicting a cottage with red-tiled roof and blue shutters, nestled among trees by a waterway under a cloud-strewn sky. The artist uses bold, textural brushwork to create depth and movement, particularly in the treatment of foliage and sky, lending the work a lively impressionistic feel.
