This oil painting on stretched canvas is signed Louise in the lower right corner. The work depicts a traditional rural landscape scene with a large tree in autumnal gold tones serving as the primary focal point. A rustic wooden post-and-rail fence and a small bridge lead the eye through the composition toward a cottage partially visible in the distance. The foreground features a calm body of water bordered by varied vegetation and wildflowers rendered with textured brushwork, which contrasts with the soft, atmospheric treatment of the cloudy sky. The painting is presented in a substantial, ornate gilt-moulded frame featuring Rococo-style scrolling foliate and floral motifs at the corners and mid-points.
41 x 29 inches.
