Wooded River Landscape at Sunset - Signed

Description
This late 19th-century oil landscape by an unidentified artist depicts a wooded riverbank at sunset, rendered in a subdued tonal palette of warm rose, amber, and deep umber. Slender trees frame a still reflective waterway, where fading light creates a soft atmospheric glow across the surface. The vertically balanced composition and delicate tonal transitions emphasize mood and quietude rather than precise topography. The atmospheric handling of dusk light recalls the poetic sensibility associated with Atkinson Grimshaw and the wider Romantic landscape tradition of the period.

Artist
