Dovedale, by Moonlight is an oil by Unknown, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
This painting shows a serene nighttime landscape. In the foreground, a river flows gently through the center, reflecting the moon's light. The riverbanks are lined with trees and rocks, while the background features towering cliffs and a cloudy sky with the full moon shining brightly. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the moonlit areas standing out against the darker shadows.
