Cutting Timber, Aix-les-Bains is a 1902 watercolor by Alfred East, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet forest scene with a dirt path winding through tall trees. A few people are working near the water’s edge—some bending over, others standing with tools. The colors are soft and muted, with greens and browns blending into the background. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture light and movement, especially in the trees. The people look small compared to the big landscape, making the scene feel peaceful and open. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
