Catalogue note

Slender trees lean over a still river whose mirrored reflections double the composition downward. A pale town skyline, pricked by a single spire, sits low on the horizon under a luminous, near-empty sky. The palette is soft and silvery and the brushwork light and economical, giving the scene a quiet morning calm.
