Technique & Style

Its material composition includes oil paint applied to a tightly stretched canvas, a combination noted in the provenance records. Stylistically, the piece belongs to the landscape genre and displays the vigorous, swirling brushwork and saturated colour palette associated with an imitator of Vincent van Gogh, aligning with the formal qualities described in the catalogue data. The composition balances a modestly sized field with a subdued horizon, emphasizing texture over detailed representation.
