AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This impressive 19th-century oil painting from 1888 is a beautiful example of the atmospheric, Northwest European landscape art from the fin de siècle. The work shows a moody, Dutch river or polder landscape at the fall of the summer evening. Centrally in the foreground stand two meticulously worked cows at the water's edge, flanked by a monumental treescape that creates a fine sense of depth. On the right in the composition, light glints on the walls of a characteristic thatched farmhouse. The painter, Hector Thys, has here masterfully captured the diffuse Dutch light and the cloudscape, giving the canvas a serene and museal appearance.
The Monumental Frame
The painting is housed in an exceptionally heavy, monumental 19th-century wooden frame (ca. 11 kg). The frame is gold-plated.
There is authentic, natural damar.
