River Landscape With Cottage

This early 20th-century oil painting depicts a river landscape with a rustic cottage and rowboat.

Nestled amid autumnal foliage, a stone cottage stands alongside a sinuous tree. It’s buried in nature, as it has been for decades. A boatman, perhaps its owner, readies himself to head downriver. The shimmering water peppered with algae.

The work bears an indecipherable signature, which is a shame as it’s by an accomplished hand. In many ways, it’s similar to landscapes by French artist Eugene Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) who worked under several pseudonyms.

Held in a decorative scroll and foliate frame.
