‘Evening Crossing’
English School, 20th Century
 
 
A warm and atmospheric oil on canvas depicting a stone bridge spanning a gently flowing river, with sailing boats drifting across the water beneath a glowing evening sky. Buildings line the riverbanks, their forms softened by the fading light, while distant hills rise beyond. The artist’s rich palette and careful handling of tone capture the quiet romance of the riverside at sunset.
