‘Riverside Mill’
English School, late 19th Century
 
 
A finely painted oil on canvas depicting a rural mill beside a flowing river, with gentle hills and figures in the distance beneath a soft, cloud-filled sky. The artist captures the calm rhythm of the English countryside with refined brushwork and a delicate handling of light. Subtle tonal gradations lend the water and landscape a sense of movement and atmosphere.
