Catalogue note

A village street of low buildings leads the eye toward a tall church spire, the slopes gathering deep afternoon shadow under a pale, warm sky. Utility poles and wires cut the sky with a matter-of-fact realism, while the light is the true subject. The picture is confident and quietly virtuosic in its handling of shadow.
