‘Heather Fields at Dusk’
Signed W. Davidson, early 20th Century
A tranquil oil on canvas depicting an expansive heathland landscape bathed in the soft light of evening. Rolling purple heather stretches toward distant hills beneath a muted sky, while a meandering path draws the viewer into the depth of the scene.
