'The Quiet Lane'
European School, 20th Century

Soft, muted tones and atmospheric brushwork create a gentle sense of calm, while the distant poplars and overcast sky lend depth and tranquillity to the composition. Beautifully observed and rich in charm, it is a timeless decorative landscape with enduring appeal.
