A miniature oil painting on copper panel by the artist Kobe, depicting a pastoral river landscape. The scene features a group of prominent trees to the left foreground and small figures positioned near a body of water to the right, executed in a traditional style reminiscent of 17th-century Dutch landscapes. The brushwork includes visible impasto highlights in the sky and clouds. The work is signed Kobe in white cursive paint in the lower right corner. It is housed in a decorative gilt-metal frame with a scrolled ribbon-form cresting, set against a dark purple velvet-covered mount. The verso retains a printed manufacturer’s label featuring a stylized W logo and the text OIL ON COPPER ORIGINAL. A handwritten string tag is also attached, reading A.P. SMITH. PONTEFRACT. 1964.
