This spirited early 20th-century oil painting depicts an evening view across picturesque fields. It’s a moment the artist enjoyed. Distant embers of sunlit yellow are broken by a cloud - as light drips across a landscape rippling with suggestions. Flickers of fire amid a scene close to darkness.

It's in the manner of the great Barbizon School painter, Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867).
