Description
This impressive oil on canvas is the work of British painter Charles Leaver (1824–1888), known for their detailed landscape paintings, that capture the atmosphere of the British countryside.
The scene of the winter landscape depicts the snowy village with characters going towards the picturesque cottage with thatch roof. The realistic landscape is underlined by a fine palette of cold colors, melancholic, But at the same time the calm atmosphere of the winter evening. Details, such as bare branches of trees covered with frost, smoke rising from chimneys or finely snowed fences, give the image depth and authenticity.
The image is signed at the bottom right and is set in a richly decorated gilded frame, that underlines its historical value. The work is in good condition, without significant damage, with a fine patina corresponding to its age.
