Figures on a Riverside Path, 1994’
J. Ralston (British, 20th Century)
A serene oil on board depicting two figures on a riverside path, one mounted and one walking beside, beneath the gentle light of an early morning sky. The artist, J. Rolston, captures the calm clarity of the landscape with exquisite precision and a delicate balance of tone. The composition, with its distant hills and finely rendered trees, evokes a timeless, classical stillness reminiscent of 18th- and 19th-century English landscape painting.
